Question

Choose the correct x-intercept and y-intercept of the equation x + 2y = 4.

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

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

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

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

Answer 1

To solve for the x intercept, set y=0 and solve for x. To solve for the y intercept, set x=0 and solve for y. What do you get?

Answer 2

I Didn't get anything because i really don't understand how to solve the problem

Answer 3

Ok, so lets solve for the x intercept. So we'll plug in 0 for the x in the equation:
x+2y=4
0+2y=4
2y=4
y=2

So your x intercept is 2. Now do the same thing but plug in 0 for y instead of x.

Answer 4

im not graphing anything, im just choosing the correct x-intercept and y-intercept of the equation x + 2y = 4.

Answer 5

I know, I didn't graph anything. Do you see how I found the y intercept?

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

To find the y intercept, we replace "x" in the equation with "0"
x+2y=4
0+2y=4 (we just replaced x with 0 and now we solve for y)
2y=4 (divide both sides by 2)
y=2

Answer 8

OHHHH Ok so the answer is D?

Answer 9

Right, exactly
