Question

What are the intercepts of `-4y-2x=8`?

Answer 1

`color(maroon)("x-intercept " = -2, " y-intercept " = -4`

Explanation:

`-4x - 2y = 8, " To find x & y intercepts"`

`"When x = 0, " -2y = 8 " or " y = -4`

Hence `"y-intercept " = -4`

Similarly, `"When y = 0, " -4x = 8 " or " x = -2`

Hence `"x-intercept " = -2`
