C or D... From there it's tough, dont have any sort of graph.

anonymous · Answer

ok. when you need to find the y intercept, set the equation equal to y: y=mx+b

the b will be your y intercept

D
it is D because at the X intercept, y = 0
and at the Y intercept, x = 0

when x = 0,
-2y=8
y=8/-2
y=-4

=>Y intercept (0,-4)

when y = 0
4x = 8
x = 8/4
x = 2

=> X intercept (2,0)

hence D, (2,0) and (0,-4)
