Use the intercepts to graph the equation

x%2B2y=4

Step 1. Intercepts occur when one of the coordinates x or y is equal to zero.

Step 2. Let x=0 then 2y=4 or y=2. So we have the point (0,2).

Step 3. Let y=0 then x=4. So we have the other point (4,0).

Step 4. The graph is shown below using these two points:

I hope the above steps were helpful.
