You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the equation of the line with x-intercept 4 and y-intercept 8
-----------
For intercepts (A,0) & (0,B), it's
Bx + Ay = A*B
-------------------
8x + 4y = 32
2x + y = 8

given:
 and
so, you are given these two points: ( , ) and (, )
now we can find the equation of a line passing through these two points:

hahaWe are trying to find equation of form y=ax+b, where a is slope, and b is intercept, which passes through points (x1, y1) = (4, 0) and (x2, y2) = (0, 8).
Slope a is  .
Intercept is found from equation  , or  . From that,
intercept b is  , or  .
y=(-2)x + (8)
Your graph:

so, the equation of the line with  and  is
Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246)  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Using (4,0) and (0,8)
the slope is determined as
(rise) 8-0 / (run) 0 - 4
8/-4 = -2
...
Given y intercept and calculating slope we have the linear equation
y = -2x + 8
..
Check
y = -2(4) + 8; y = 0
y = -2(0) + 8; y = 8
