Question

Find the intercepts and then graph the line

-4x+2y=8

Answer 1

you have to set up 2 problems for this one

Answer 2

x intercept = (-2,0)
y itnercept = (0,4)

Answer 3

To find your intercepts plug in zero. I change it to y=mx+b form first but that's my preference. y=2x+4

Answer 4

0=2x+4, so x=-2. and y=2(0)+4 so y=4. Your intercepts will be (-2,0) and (0,4). Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Thank you guys and what about the Graph

Answer 6

Hold on I think I can do one in Fathom and post a picture.... I think

Answer 7

Ok Samsterz can you also draw the graph

Answer 8

Not sure if you can open this because I have a program for graphing on my computer, don't know if you can open it if you don't have it. It would be much easier to graph by hand though yes.

Answer 9

ok sec

Answer 10

there u go

Answer 11

Thanks you guys bt How can i be a wizard like you .I am only good in English

Answer 12

im good in english as well, honors english im taking

Answer 13

To find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y and solve for x.

6x+5(0)=−30

Multiply 5 by each term inside the parentheses.

More Detail
Multiply 5 by the 0 inside the parentheses.

6x+5⋅0=−30


Multiply 5 by 0 to get 0.

6x+0=−30

6x+0=−30

Remove the 0 from the polynomial; adding or subtracting 0 does not change the value of the expression.

6x=−30

Divide each term in the equation by 6.

6x/6=−30/6

Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.


x=−30/6

Simplify the equation.

Cancel the common factor of 6 in −30/6.




Reduce the expression −30/6 by removing a factor of 6 from the numerator and denominator.

x=−5

x=−5

To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y.

6(0)+5y=−30

Multiply 6 by each term inside the parentheses.


0+5y=−30

Remove the 0 from the polynomial; adding or subtracting 0 does not change the value of the expression.

5y=−30

Divide each term in the equation by 5.


Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.

Cancel the common factor of 5 in 5y/5.



Reduce the expression 5y/5 by removing a factor of 5 from the numerator and denominator.

y=−305

y=−30/5

Solve the equation.

Cancel the common factor of 5 in −30/5.




Reduce the expression −305 by removing a factor of 5 from the numerator and denominator.

y=−6

y=−6

These are the x and y intercepts of the equation 6x+5y=−30.

x-intercept: (−5,0)
y-intercept: (0,−6)
