Question 168216: I have to fine the x and y intercept of f(x)=4x-1
I know that by setting f(0) I can get the y intercept (-1) but I am not sure how to find the x intercept. Can someone please explain how to get it. Thanks.

---------------------------
y = 4x-1
To find the y-intercept, let x = 0; Then y = -1
-------------------
To find the x-intercept, let y = 0; Then 0= 4x-1 and x = 1/4
