The y intercept is ____

skullpatrol · Answer

Any ideas?

vshiroky · Answer

I'm unsure of how to do this

vshiroky · Answer

I think 8y=4+x
so divide by 8? 
y=4/8+x?

skullpatrol · Answer

What are the definitions of the "intercepts" ?

vshiroky · Answer

where they intersect eachother

skullpatrol · Answer

It is where the graph intersects the axis.

vshiroky · Answer

(-4,0) and (0,1/2)?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

Those are both correct. Do you see how those are the x and y intercepts?

skullpatrol · Answer

The x intercept is ____ the value of y when x = 0

8y=4+x 

8y=4+0

y=1/2

vshiroky · Answer

I do understand now... Is it -1/2 or 1/2?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

as skullpatrol is showing, it's positive

The graph is attached

x - 8y = 4; turn the equation in the slopeis the y-intercept. x - 8y = 4 x - x - 8y = -x + 4 -8y = -x + 4 divide by -8-intercept form, y = mx + b, where bto both sides y = x/8 - 1/2 Thus, the y-intercept is -1/2.
