Answer:

see below

Explanation:

let's convert it into slope intercept form first as it will get rid of the decimals. so we must get it to follow the form of y = mx + b.

so we must isolate the y variable:

- subtract 0.04x from both sides

- now we have 0.02y = 0.08 - 0.04x, and to follow the form this can also be 0.02y = -0.04x + 0.08

- divide both sides by 0.02

- now we have y = -2x + 4, so we know the slope is -2

now lets find the intercepts:

y intercept => set x=0

y = -2(0) + 4

y = 4

so we have (0,4)

x intercept => set y=0

0 = -2x + 4

-4 = -2x

x= 2

now we have (2,0)

graph it:

with two points (the intercepts) and the slope we can find a graph that looks like this
