Question

Determine the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of y = 1/4x - 2

Then plot the intercepts to the graph the equation

Answer 1

8,-2. place the x as 8 and y as -2.

Answer 2

Answer:

The y-intecept is $(0,-2)$, and the x-intercept is $(8,0)$.

Step-by-step explanation:

The interception points with the axes can be foun by making zero one variable.

If you wanna find y-interception, we must make x = 0.

If you wann find x-interception, we must make y = 0.

The given function is

$y=\frac{1}{4}x-2$

For $x=0$, we have

$y=\frac{1}{4}(0)-2\\y=-2$

For $y=0$, we have

$y=\frac{1}{4}x-2\\0=\frac{1}{4}x-2\\2=\frac{1}{4}x\\x=8$

Therefore, the y-intecept is $(0,-2)$, and the x-intercept is $(8,0)$.
