Question

The x and y intercepts for this equation plz y=−1/4x+2
(_,_)

Answer 1

`\boxed{ \boxed{ \sf \: x \: intercept : 8 \atop \sf \: y \: intercept : 2}}`

Explanation:

to understand this

you need to know about:

• linear equation
• PEMDAS

given:

• 
  `\tt y = - (1)/(4) x+ 2`

to find:

• x and y intercept

tips and formulas:

• to find x and y intercept we have to substitute x and y to 0

let's solve:

let's substitute x to 0 to find y intercept

• y=-¼(0)+2
• y=2

therefore y intercept is 0

let's substitute y to 0 to find x intercept

• 0=(-¼)x+2
• (-¼)x=-2
• x=-2×-4
• x=8

therefore

x intercept is 8

and

y intercept is 2

also see the graph

explanation of the graph

you can clearly see that the red line crosses x and y axis to (8,0) and (0,2) respectively

therefore

x intercept is 8

and

y intercept is 2
