Answer:

x-intercept in coordinate point: (2, 0)

y-intercept in coordinate point: (0, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2x - y = 4

To find:

The x and y-itercepsts

Toget x -inercept, we will substitute for y with 0:

2x - 0 = 4

2x = 4

diide both sides by 2:

x = 4/2

x = 2

x-intercept inocoordinate point: (2, 0)

To get y-intercept, we will substitute for x with 0:

2(0) - y = 4

0 - y = 4

-y = 4

y = -4

y-intercept in coordinate point: (0, -4)
