x-intercept (4, 0)
y-intercept (0, 2)

my work:

to find the intercepts we first have to convert to y = mx + b

y = -1/2x + 2

now we substitute 0 for y or x, first i’m doing the x-intercept.

0 = -1/2x + 2
0 - 2 = -1/2x
-2 = -1/2x
4 = x

now the y-intercept :)

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

i hope this helped lovely! :)
