Answer:
[tex] \boxed{ \boxed{ \sf \: x \: intercept : 8 \atop \sf \: y \: intercept : 2}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
to understand this
you need to know about:
- linear equation
- PEMDAS
given:
- [tex] \tt y = - \frac{1}{4} x+ 2[/tex]
to find:
- x and y intercept
tips and formulas:
- to find x and y intercept we have to substitute x and y to 0
let's solve:
let's substitute x to 0 to find y intercept
- y=-¼(0)+2
- y=2
therefore y intercept is 0
let's substitute y to 0 to find x intercept
- 0=(-¼)x+2
- (-¼)x=-2
- x=-2×-4
- x=8
therefore
x intercept is 8
and
y intercept is 2
also see the graph
explanation of the graph
you can clearly see that the red line crosses x and y axis to (8,0) and (0,2) respectively
therefore
x intercept is 8
and
y intercept is 2
