Question 986531: It says:you are given the equation:y-2x+4=0 and they say determine the co-ordinates of this line,using the intercept-imtercept method showing oll calculation Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
The intercepts of any line, presuming the line is other than horizontal or vertical such that it has both and intercepts are two points: the -intercept is of the form and the -intercept is of the form .
Because the coefficients on your variables are both non-zero, you are guaranteed to have a line that intersects both axes. All that is left for you to do is to find the two intercept points by finding the values of (so that you can create the point ) and (so that you can create the point ).
To find the value , substitute zero for in your equation and then solve for . The value of when is zero is the value that you need for your -intercept.
Likewise, to find the value of , substitute zero for and then solve for
