The two numbers are 48 and 18.

66 = l + s

l = 2 + 3s

66 = 2 + 3s + s

66 = 2 + 4s

66 - 2 = 64

64 = 4s

64 / 4 = 16

66 = l + 16

66 - 16 = 50

50 - 2 = 48

16 + 2 = 18

66 = 48 + 18

On the graph of the equation X-4Y= -16 what is the value of the Y-intercept?

Nonamiya [84]

we can always find the x-intercept by simply settting y = 0, and solving for "x".

and we can always find the y-intercept by simply setting x = 0 and solving for "y".

$\bf x-4y=-16\implies \stackrel{x=0}{0-4y=-16}\implies y=\cfrac{-16}{-4}\implies y=4
