Answer 2

to find the x intercept, put \(=0\) and solve for\(x\), i.e. solve \[-x=4\]

Answer 3

then to find the \(y\) intercept, put \(x=0\)solve \[2y=4\]for \(y\)

Answer 4

let me know what you get

Answer 5

for -x=4 don't u divide by -x and it gets a strange number

Answer 6

just change the sign of both sides
for example, if \[-x=7\] then \[x=-7\]

Answer 7

you don't divide by the variable
the math teachers would say "divide by \(-1\)" but that really just means change the sign

Answer 8

y intercept (0,2)

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

x intercept (-4,0) ??

Answer 11

yes
