Question

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND 5 STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!Identify the coordinates of the x- and y-intercepts of the equation.

Answer 1

Hey there!

Let's first find the y intercept in two ways. The first way is simply looking at the equation because it's in slope intercept, y = mx +b. In Slope intercept, b is the y intercept, therefore it is 4.

Another way is noticing that in a y intercept, x is always 0 because that's where the line crosses the y axis and there's no x value. So, if we plug in x for 0, we get y = 4.

Now for the x intercept. In an x intercept, y is zero because it's where the line crosses the x axis. Therefore, we plug in y as 0:

0 = x + 4
-4 = x

Therefore, the x intercept is (-4,0) and the y intercept is (0, 4).

Hope this helps!
