What are the x- and y-intercepts for the graph of the equation y = 4 - 2x?

Select one:
X-intercept = 2; y-intercept = 4
x-intercept = -2; y-intercept = 4
x-intercept = 4; y-intercept = -2
X-intercept = 4; y-intercept = 2

Answer:

The first one,
x-intercept
=2;
y-intercept
= 4

Explanation:

The
x-intercept is where
y=0, so we can solve for it with the following equation:


0=4-2x→2x=4→x=2

So the answer is the first one, but just to make sure, you can solve for the
y-intercept because their
x-values always equal to
0 as well:


y=4-2(0)→y=4-0→y=4.
