Question

Determine the X and the Y intercept of the graph of y equals 1/4 x -2

Answer 1

The given graph is

$y = \frac{1}{4} x - 2$
For y intercept put x=0 in the equation.

$y = \frac{1}{4} (0) - 2$

$y = 0 - 2$

$y = - 2$
The y intercept is
$(0,-2)$


For x intercept , put y=0 in the equation.

$0 = \frac{1}{4} x - 2$

Make x the subject

$\frac{1}{4} x = 2$
$x = 4 \times 2$

$x = 8$

The x - intercept is
$(8,0)$
