In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data:

4y+5x=2y-3x+16

Step 02:

x and y intercepts:

4y + 5x = 2y - 3x + 16

4y - 2y = - 3x - 5x + 16

2y = - 8x + 16

y = (-8x + 16) / 2

y = -4x + 8

x -intercept:

y = 0

y = -4x + 8

0 = -4x + 8

4x = 8

x = 8 / 4 = 2

(2 , 0)

y-intercept:

x = 0

y = -4x + 8

y = -4(0) + 8

y = 8

(0 , 8)

The answer is:

x -intercept: ( 2 , 0)

y-intercept: ( 0 , 8)
