x intercept = 4

y intercept = 2

Explanation:

2x+4y=8

Divide by 8

x4+y2=1

x intercept = 4

y intercept = 2

Graph of the above equation is as follows:

I would first solve the equation for y.

Explanation:

2x+4y=8

4y=82x

y=2(12)x

Now simply choose a few values for x and solve for y. The intercepts will be both the coordinates determined by the x and y value.
