Question

Describe the steps used to graph the equation 4x-2y=8 with an x- and y- intercepts.

Answer 1

x=1/2y+2

y=2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

For x-intercept:

4x-2y=8

-> subtract -2y on both sides

4x=2y+8

-> divide 4 on both sides to isolate the x

x=1/2y+2

For y-intercept:

4x-2y=8

-> subtract 4x on both sides

-2y=-4x+8

-> divide -2 on both sides to isolate the y

y=2x-4
