Answer:

The y intercept is -2

Explanation:

Hi there!

We want to find the y-intercept of the line 2x-4y=8

The y-intercept is the point in where the line passes through the y axis. This means that the value of x at the y intercept is 0.

So substitute 0 as x into the equation

2(0)-4y=8

Multiply

0-4y=8

Simplify

-4y=8

Divide both sides by -2

y=-2

The y intercept is -2. If you need it as a point, it's (0, -2)

Hope this helps!
