Question 92559
The given data is: 



x-intercept 4 and y-intercept -8


This can be written as:  


x - intercept is -  (4, 0) 


y - intercept is - (0, -8)


The general equation of the line in the slope -intercept form is given by: y = mx + b 


So substituing these points in the given equationwe get: 

(4,0)  ==>  0 = 4m + c 


==> c = -4m 


(0, -8) ==> -8 = 0 + c


==> c = -8 


substituing this in the above equation, we get


-8 = -4m 


==> 8 = 4m 


==> m = 2 


so substituing this in the eqn of the st line, we get:



y = mx + b 


y = 2x - 8


Hence, the solution.
