Question 536288


<h4>x-intercept</h4>

To find the x-intercept, plug in {{{y=0}}} and solve for x



{{{x+4y=8}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{x+4(0)=8}}} Plug in {{{y=0}}}.



{{{x+0=8}}} Multiply {{{4}}} and 0 to get 0.



{{{x=8}}} Simplify.



So the x-intercept is *[Tex \LARGE \left(8,0\right)].



------------------------------------------



<h4>y-intercept</h4>

To find the y-intercept, plug in {{{x=0}}} and solve for y



{{{x+4y=8}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{0+4y=8}}} Plug in {{{x=0}}}.



{{{4y=8}}} Simplify.



{{{y=(8)/(4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{4}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=2}}} Reduce.



So the y-intercept is *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,2\right)].



Now let's plot the points *[Tex \LARGE \left(8,0\right)] and *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,2\right)] which are the x and y intercepts respectively.



{{{drawing(500, 500, -10,10,-10,10,
grid(0),
graph(500, 500, -10,10,-10,10,0)
circle(8,0,0.03),circle(8,0,0.05),circle(8,0,0.08),circle(8,0,0.10),circle(8,0,0.12),
circle(0,2,0.03),circle(0,2,0.05),circle(0,2,0.08),circle(0,2,0.10),circle(0,2,0.12)
)}}}



Now draw a straight line through the plotted points to graph {{{x+4y=8}}}.



{{{ drawing(500, 500, -10,10,-10,10,
grid(0),
graph(500, 500, -10,10,-10,10,(8-x)/(4)),
circle(8,0,0.03),circle(8,0,0.05),circle(8,0,0.08),circle(8,0,0.10),circle(8,0,0.12),
circle(0,2,0.03),circle(0,2,0.05),circle(0,2,0.08),circle(0,2,0.10),circle(0,2,0.12)
)}}} Graph of {{{x+4y=8}}}
