Question 270083
2x-4y=8
let x=0 and find y
(0,y)
0-4y=8
y=-2
(0,-2)

let y= 0 and find x
2x=8
x=4
(4,0)
so our two ordered pairs are (0,-2) and (4,0)
To find which way the line leans we need to find the slope
we can do it two ways
y-y/x-x=m
or put the equation in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope
since we went through the bother of finding the two points lets use them
y-y/x-x=m the slope
-2-0/0-4=-2/-4=1/2
so the line slants or leans up from left to right

so when x=0 y is negative but rises to zero when x=4
