4x + y = 2
is the equation of a line in Standard Format.
Usually, it is pretty easy to find the intercepts by setting each variable to 0.
The y-intercept (the place where x=0) is:
4(0) + y = 2
y = 2
The point (0,2)
The x-intercept (the place where y=0) is:
4x + 0 = 2
x = 1/2
The point (1/2,0)
Other solutions include:
(-1,6)
(1, -2)
