$x-intercept: 8$ $"x-intercept: "8$
$y-intercept: 2$ $"y-intercept: "2$

$we write y=0 to find x-intercept .$ $"we write y=0 to find x-intercept ."$

$x + 4 y = 8$ $x+4y=8$
$x + 4 \cdot 0 = 8$ $x+4*0=8$
$x + 0 = 8$ $x+0=8$
$x = 8$ $x=8$

$we write x=0 to find y-intercept .$ $"we write x=0 to find y-intercept ."$

$x + 4 y = 8$ $x+4y=8$
$0 + 4 y = 8$ $0+4y=8$
$4 y = 8$ $4y=8$
$y = \frac{8}{4}$ $y=8/4$

$y = 2$ $y=2$
