Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the graph of: 4x-2y=8
a. (2, -4)
b. -4;2
c. (4, -2)
d. 2;-4
I'm stuck between a and d. anyone helpp?
x intercept, the value of x when y is zero
y intercept, the value of y when x is zero.
now the difference between a and d. Surely your teacher is not a nitpicker. d is the right answer, a is written in the format of a point, and d is written as two values.
thanks!
To find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the graph of the equation 4x - 2y = 8, you can set y = 0 and solve for x to find the x-intercept, and set x = 0 and solve for y to find the y-intercept.
Let's start by finding the x-intercept. To do this, we set y = 0 and solve for x:
4x - 2(0) = 8
4x = 8
x = 8/4
x = 2
So, the x-intercept is 2.
Next, let's find the y-intercept. We set x = 0 and solve for y:
4(0) - 2y = 8
-2y = 8
y = 8/(-2)
y = -4
So, the y-intercept is -4.
Comparing the choices given, we can see that the correct answer is option a: (2, -4).
