The intercepts are (-2,0) and (0,4)

Explanation:

To find the x intercept put y=0 and solve for x
To find the y intercept put x=0 and solve for y

At y=0 , x=-2
At x=0 , y=4

So the intercepts are (-2,0) and (0,4)

The x-intercept is (-2,0) and the y-intercept is (0,4).

Explanation:

The x-intercept is the value of x when y is 0. Similarly, the y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0.

So

x-intercept => 2x -y =-4

=> 2x - 0 = -4

=> x = -2

and

y-intercept: => 2x-y =-4

=> 2(0) - y = -4

=> y = 4
