Question

Find the x and y intercepts 8x-4y= -16

Answer 1

$8x-4y=-16\\\\x-intercept\ for\ y=0:\\\\8x-4(0)=-16\\\\8x-0=-16\\\\8x=-16\qquad\text{divide both sides by 8}\\\\\boxed{x=-2\to(-2,\ 0)}\\\\y-intercept\ for\ x=0:\\\\8(0)-4y=-16\\\\0-4y=-16\\\\-4y=-16\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\\\\boxed{y=4\to(0,\ 4)}$
