x-intercept


To find the x-intercept, plug in and solve for x


Start with the given equation.


Plug in .


Multiply and 0 to get 0.


Simplify.


Multiply.


So the x-intercept is .


------------------------------------------


y-intercept


To find the y-intercept, plug in and solve for y


Start with the given equation.


Plug in .


Simplify.


Divide both sides by to isolate .


Reduce.


So the y-intercept is .


Now plot the x and y intercepts which are the points (4,0) and (0,2)





Now draw a straight line through the points to graph



Graph of through the points (4,0) and (0,2)
