Question

Find the x and y intercepts
1.) 4y-8=2x

Answer 1

To get x-intercept put y=0 in the equation
to get y-intercept put x=0 in the equation

Answer 2

can you help me do it and explain each step

Answer 3

4y-8=2x
FOR x-INTERCEPT, PUT y=0 in that,
what u get ?

Answer 4

that is what i got

Answer 5

1.) 4y-8=2x

Add 8

4y = 8 + 2x

Subtract 2x

4y - 2x = 8

Divide by 8 \[\frac{y}{2} + \frac{x}{-4} = 1\] This is called the "Intercept Form". The answers are staring at you.

Answer 6

-8=2x
so x= -8/2 = ?

Answer 7

You have it. Now the other?

Answer 8

-4

Answer 9

hartnn

Answer 10

that is correct.

Answer 11

Okay, now start with x = 0 and find the y-intercept.

Answer 12

4y-8=0
4y=8
y=?

Answer 13

2

Answer 14

Now go take a look at that Intercept Form and see if anything looks interesting - particularly the denominators.

Answer 15

thats correct.
