Given Line Eqn, system%284x-2y=8%29

To find x-intercept, let Fy=0;
4x-2%280%29=8 ---> 4x=8
cross%284%29x%2Fcross%284%29=cross%288%292%2Fcross%284%291
red%28x=2%29, x-intercept

For y-intercept, let Fx=0:
4%280%29-2y=8 ---> -2y=8
cross%28-2%29y%2Fcross%28-2%29=%28cross%288%29-4%29%2Fcross%28-2%29
red%28y=-4%29, y-intercept

See graph,
