Answer:

w =-4

Step-by-step explanation:

4w = 2w - 8

Subtract 2w from each side

4w-2w = 2w-2w - 8

2w = -8

Divide by 2

2w/2 = -8/2

w = -4

On the graph of the equation X-4Y= -16 what is the value of the Y-intercept?

Nonamiya [84]

we can always find the x-intercept by simply settting y = 0, and solving for "x".

and we can always find the y-intercept by simply setting x = 0 and solving for "y".

$\bf x-4y=-16\implies \stackrel{x=0}{0-4y=-16}\implies y=\cfrac{-16}{-4}\implies y=4
