Find the x and y Intercepts 2x-4y=-8

$2 x - 4 y = - 8$

Find the x-intercepts.

To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $y$ and solve for $x$ .

$2 x - 4 \cdot 0 = - 8$

Solve the equation.

Simplify $2 x - 4 \cdot 0$ .

Multiply $- 4$ by $0$ .

$2 x + 0 = - 8$

Add $2 x$ and $0$ .

$2 x = - 8$

Divide each term in $2 x = - 8$ by $2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $2 x = - 8$ by $2$ .

$\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{- 8}{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{- 8}{2}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{- 8}{2}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 8$ by $2$ .

$x = - 4$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(- 4, 0)$

Find the y-intercepts.

To find the y-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $x$ and solve for $y$ .

$2 (0) - 4 y = - 8$

Solve the equation.

Simplify $2 (0) - 4 y$ .

Multiply $2$ by $0$ .

$0 - 4 y = - 8$

Subtract $4 y$ from $0$ .

$- 4 y = - 8$

Divide each term in $- 4 y = - 8$ by $- 4$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 4 y = - 8$ by $- 4$ .

$\frac{- 4 y}{- 4} = \frac{- 8}{- 4}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 4 y}{- 4} = \frac{- 8}{- 4}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{- 8}{- 4}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 8$ by $- 4$ .

$y = 2$
