Question

In a paragraph in your INB, describe how you would find the x-intercept and y-intercept for the equation, 2x + y = 4.

Answer 1

2x + y = 4

To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for y, and then solve for x. We have the point

(2, 0).

To find the y-intercept, substitute 0 for x, and then solve for y. We have the point

(0, 4).
