Equation is in point-slope form.
Slope is -4 and line passes through (-4,2).

Solve for y and simplify into general form.
y=-4x%2B8-4
y=-4x%2B4---------slope-intercept form showing y-intercept (0,4).

Find x in terms of y and set y=0.
y-4=-4x
x=%28y-4%29%2F%28-4%29
x=%284-y%29%2F4
-
x=%284-0%29%2F4=1-----------this means x-axis intercept is (1,0).
