So, what do you need to do with that? That's not really a question on it's own....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What is the question?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Write y as function of x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh do we need to graph this?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I have to find the x intercept and the y intercept

Yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok for the x intercept:
Let y=o
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x - 2(0) = ?
Whats the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Nope

Higher

It may be easier to write the function in standard form first. It will be easier to interpret.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y(x)=?x+?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
x - 2(0) = 4
x - 0 =4
x = 4
So we have 4 as our x intercept
OpenStudy (anonymous):
which is (4,0)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Do you get that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So what would my y intercept
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That is our next step. : Finding out the Y intercept

Ok so no questions on the x intercept.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
To find out the Y intercept
We are going to let X=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
substituting that we get 0-2y=4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
substituting that we get 0-2y=4
\[-2y/2 = 4/-2\]
and that gives us what?
