You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given:
2x-4y+=+1
The x-intercept is found by setting y = 0 and solving for x.
2x-4%280%29+=+1
2x+=+1
x+=+1%2F2 The x-intercept is (1%2F2,0).
The y-intercept is found by setting x = 0 and solving for y.
2%280%29-4y+=+1
-4y+=+1 Divide by -4.
y+=+-1%2F4 The y-intercept is (0,-1%2F4)
To graph the equation, you need to find only two pointsand you have these two as they are the x- and y-intercepts.
On a graph, just connect these two point with a straight line.
