Question 1167929
the x intercept is the value of x when y = 0.


your equation is:


4x - 2y = 8


replace y with 0 to get:


4x - 2 * 0 = 8


simplify to get:


4x = 8


solve for x to get:


x = 8/4 = 2


the x-intercept is equal to 2.


the coordinate point where this occurs is (x,y) = (2,0).


here's a graph of the equation.

you can see that x = 2 when y = 0


some additional information.


the y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0.


when x = 0, 4x - 2y = 8 becomes 4 * 0 - 2y = 8.


simplify to get:


-2y = 8


solve for y to get:


y = 8 / -2 = -4


the coordinate point where this occurs is (x,y) = (0,-4)


both the x and y intercepts can be seen on the graph.
