Question

Find the x - intercept of the line: -4x-2y =16

Answer 1

The x - intercept of the line is (-4, 0).

Explanation:

The x-intercept is the point from which the graph passes through the x-axis.

At the x-intercept y = 0.

The provided line is:
`-4x-2y=16`

Substitute y = 0 in this equation to determine the x-intercept as follows:

`-4x-2y=16\\-4x-(2* 0) = 16\\-4x = 16\\x=-(16)/(4) \\=-4`

Thus, the x-intercept is (-4, 0).
