first arrange your equation into y=mx+c -2y=4x-1 then make y only 1 to do that divide all numbers by 2 ( because theres 2y) -y=2x-0.5 y can't be a negative so change it y=-2x+0.5 c= y intercept so 0.5 is y intercept to find x intercept make y = 0 0=-2x+0.5 then balance the equation by adding 2x on both sides 0+2x = -2x +0.5 +2x 2x= 0.5 then divide both sides by 2 (because theres 2x and you only need 1) x = 0.25 so 0.25 is your x intercept
