Question

find the intercepts of 4x+y=8

Answer 1

x and y intercepts or just y?

Answer 2

both

Answer 3

Alright. To find y intercept, x must be 0. (0, y). Therefore, you must multiply x by 0. What does that mean?
4(0) + y = 8

What does that give you?

Answer 4

To make it easier, what does 4 multiply by 0 give you?

Answer 5

0

Answer 6

Great. Now you have 7 = 8. In other words, the y-intercept is (0,8) not 8, since 8 is not a coordinate. ^_^
Now we basically do the same thing to find the x-intercept:
4x+(0)=8

What do you get?

Answer 7

Opps. Now you have y = 8* My bad. >_>

Answer 8

Anyways, since it's zero and is by itself, you can pretend that it doesn't exist.
So now you have 4x = 8
We want 1x not 4x, so we must divide both side by 4.
8 divided by 4 = ?
