Question

Find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line and then graph the equation
-4x+2y=-4

Answer 1

x-intercept is 1 and y-intersect is -2

Explanation:

To find the x-intercept let y = 0 and to find the y-intercept let x = 0 and solve each equation.

-4x + 2y = -4 Let x = 0 and solve for y

-4(0) +2y = -4

0 + 2y = -4

2y = -4

y = -4/2 ; y = -2 y- intercept is -2

Let y = o and solve

-4x + 2y = -4

-4x + 2(0) = -4

-4x + 0 = -4

-4x = -4

x = -4/-4 ; x = 1 x-intercept is 1
