Question

Find the coordinates of the points of intersection of the graphs with coordinate axes:

c
y=− 1 4 x+2

Answer 1

I’m not sure trying to work it out

Answer 2

For the given linear equation, the x-intercept is x = 8, the y-intercept is y = 2.

How to find the intercepts?

The linear equation is:

y = (-1/4)*x + 2

Let's find the intercepts. The y-intercept is what we get when we evaluate in x = 0, we will get:

y = (-1/4)*0 + 2

y = 2

That is the y-intercept.

And the x-intercept is what we get when we evaluate in y = 0

0 = (-1/4)*x + 2

(1/4)*x = 2

x = 4*2

x = 8
