Question

What are the intercepts of y=4x-2?

Answer 1

First, solve for the x - intercept. To do so, equate y to 0 and solve for x. 

                                               0 = 4x - 2, x = 1/2

Second, solve for the y - intercept. Equate x to 0 which will give us,

                                              y = (4)(0) -2, y = -2

Therefore,  the x-intercept is 1/2 and y-intercept is -2.
