Question

Find the y- intercept and x-intercept of the line.

4x-y=8

Answer 1

x-intercept is (2,0)

y-intercept is (0,-8)

Explanation:

to find the 'x-intercept', substitute zero for 'y' and solve:

4x - 0 = 8

4x = 8

x = 2; x-intercept is (2,0)

4(0) - y = 8

0 - y = 8

y = -8; y-intercept is (0,-8)
