Question

use the intercept to graph the equation x+2y=4

Answer 1

To find both of the x-intercept and the y-intercept, you set x or y equal to zero.

So, with x = 0, the equation becomes 0 + 2y = 4 or y = 2.

And with y = 0, the equation becomes x = 4.

If you plot y = 2, and x = 4 and draw a straight line through these points, that is the given function graphed.
