Answer:

4y=8–2x

divide both sides by coefficient of y

4y/4=8–2x/4

y=8–2x/4,

y=–2x+8/4

according to intercept:y=mx+c

y=–2/4x+8/4

To find the y-intercept of the line given by the equation
\( 2x + 4y = 8 \), we set
\( x = 0 \) and solve for
\( y \):


$\[\begin{align*}2(0) + 4y &= 8 \\0 + 4y &= 8 \\4y &= 8 \\y &= \boxed{2}\end{align*}\]$

Thus, the y-intercept of the line is
\( \boxed{2} \).
