Question

Help Please.. 1 /2x + y = 4 What is the x-intercept? What is the y-intercept?

Answer 1

Answer:

x - intercept = 8

y - intercept = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to to find x- intercept, plug y = 0, in the given equation of line.

$\frac{1} {2} x+y = 4\\\\\frac{1} {2} x+0 = 4..(plug \: y = 0)\\\frac{1} {2} x = 4\\x = 2\times 4\\x = 8\\\huge \red {\boxed {\therefore x-intercept = 8}}$

In order to to find y- intercept, plug x = 0, in the given equation of line.

$\frac{1} {2} x+y = 4\\\\\frac{1} {2} \times 0+y = 4..(plug \: x = 0)\\0+y = 4\\y = 4\\\huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore y-intercept = 4}}$
