Finding the x and y intercepts is one of the easiest tasks you can be assigned.
your equation is 2x - 4y = 8
the x-intercept occurs when y=0, so substitute 0 for y
2x - 4(0) = 8
2x + 0 = 8
2x = 8
x = 4 so the coordinates of the x-intercept are (4,0)
the y-intercept occurs when x = 0, so substitute 0 for x
2(0) + 4y = 8
0 + 4y = 8
4y = 8
y = 2 So the coordinates of the y-intercept are (0,2)
