Question

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

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

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

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

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

Answer 1

To find the x-intercept, let y = 0:

x + 2(0) = 4
x + 0 = 4
Therefore, x = 4
The coordinate is (4,0)

To find the y-intercept, let x=0.

0 + 2y = 4
2y = 4
Divide both sides by 2.
Therefore, 4 divided by 2 is 2, and y=2.
The coordinate is (0,2)

Therefore D (last choice) is your answer.
