Answer:
The y - intercept is (0, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation x + 4y = 8 is in 'standard form.' Any line parallel to this line has an equation that looks exactly the same EXCEPT for the constant.
So, let's write out x + 4y = 8 and replace the 8 with C.
x + 4y = C
Now take the coordinates of the given point (4, 3) and substitute them into the above equation: 4 + 4(3) = C = 16
Thus, the equation of the line passing through (4, 3) is x + 4y = 16.
To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and calculate y:
0 + 4y = 16, or y = 4
The y - intercept is (0, 4)
