Question

Find the x-intercept of the line whose equation is 8x + 2y =4

Answer 1

Answer:

x - intercept=  1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

$8x + 2y =4\\Substitute ,y for ;0\\8x+2(0)=4\\8x+0=4\\8x=4\\\frac{8x}{8} =\frac{4}{8} x = 1/2\\(\frac{1}{2} , 0) -x-intercept$

METHOD 2

$(-\frac{c}{a} , 0)\\a = 8\\b = 2\\c = -4\\\frac{-(-4)}{8} \\x-intercept = \frac{4}{8} \\\\x-intercept = \frac{1}{2}\\(1/2 , 0)$
