+2y+=+4x+-+8+
+y+=+2x+-+4+
----------------
To find y-intercept, +x=+0+
( 0, -4 )
----------
To find x-intercept,
------------------
y-coordinate of midpoint:
+%28+-4+%2B+0+%29+%2F+2+=+-2+
--------------------
The midpoint is at ( 1, -2 )
----------------------
Here's the plot:
+graph%28+400%2C400%2C+-10%2C10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+2x+-+4+%29+
My answer looks about right
