Question

What are the intercepts of `4x=y+8`?

Answer 1

`color(indigo)(" x-intercept " = a = 2, " y_intercept " = b = -8`

Explanation:

`"Intercept form of an equation is " x / a + y / b = 1`

`4x = y + 8`

`4x - y = 8`

`x / 2 - y / 8 = 1`

`x/2 + y / (-8) = 1`

`:. color(indigo)(" x-intercept " = a = 2, " y_intercept " = b = -8`

graph{4x - 8 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
