When the equation is given in that form, finding the x- and y-intercepts is easy.

The x-intercept is a point on the x-axis, with highlight%28y=0%29
system%28y=0%2C-4x%2B2y=32%29 --> -4x=32 --> x=32%2F%28-4%29 --> highlight%28x=-8%29

The y-intercept is a point on the y-axis, with highlight%28x=0%29
system%28x=0%2C-4x%2B2y=32%29 --> 2y=32 --> y=32%2F2 --> highlight%28y=16%29
