Identify the x- and y-intercepts of 4x – 2y = 8. Then, graph the line

Question

I don't understand someone please help

Answer 1

4x -2y = 8 divide both sides by 2

2x -y = 4, solve for y

y = 2x-4 slope = 2, y intercept = -4. when the equation is solved for y, the coefficient of the x term is the slope and the constant term is the y intercept

set y=0 and solve for x to get the x intercept

0 =2x-4

0 =x-2

x = 2 = the x intercept

y intercept is -4 or the point (0,-4)

x intercept is 2 or the point (2,0)

plot those two points and connect them with a straight line, which extends past both of those points. That's the graph of the equation
