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?
43-n= 27
for the x-intercept, let y = 0
so 4x = 8 ---> x = 2
for the y-intercept , let x = 0
so -2y = 8 ---> y = -4
which matches their a)
(I don't like how they present the answers, it is totally unconventional. That is how you would write ordered pairs, not intercepts
the x-intercept is (2,0) and the
y -intercept is (0,-4) )
looked at their answers again.
Looks like they did it correctly in d)
so it's choice A?
yeah i agree with you, I didn't know which one to choose, made it more confusing.
I'm confused now, your saying it's d now?
To find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the graph of the equation 4x - 2y = 8, we need to understand what the intercepts represent.
The x-intercept is the point at which the graph intersects the x-axis, which means that the y-coordinate of the point is 0.
The y-intercept is the point at which the graph intersects the y-axis, which means that the x-coordinate of the point is 0.
To find the x-intercept, we set y = 0 and solve for x:
4x - 2(0) = 8
4x = 8
x = 2
Therefore, the x-intercept is (2, 0).
To find the y-intercept, we set x = 0 and solve for y:
4(0) - 2y = 8
-2y = 8
y = -4
Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, -4).
Comparing the options given, we can see that the correct answer is option a. (2, -4).
