Question

Find the x - intercept of the line: -4x-2y =16

Answer 1

Answer:

The x - intercept of the line is (-4, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept is the point from which the graph passes through the x-axis.

At the x-intercept y = 0.

The provided line is:$-4x-2y=16$

Substitute y = 0 in this equation to determine the x-intercept as follows:

$-4x-2y=16\\-4x-(2\times 0) = 16\\-4x = 16\\x=-\frac{16}{4} \\=-4$

Thus, the x-intercept is (-4, 0).
