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

Answer 1

Eva Adamson

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

#"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]}

To find the intercepts of the equation 4x = y + 8, first, let y = 0 to find the x-intercept, then let x = 0 to find the y-intercept. Solve for x when y = 0, and solve for y when x = 0.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
