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

$- 8 y = 4 + x$

Find the x-intercepts.

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

$- 8 \cdot 0 = 4 + x$

Solve the equation.

Rewrite the equation as $4 + x = - 8 \cdot 0$ .

$4 + x = - 8 \cdot 0$

Multiply $- 8$ by $0$ .

$4 + x = 0$

Subtract $4$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = - 4$

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 $y$ .

$- 8 y = 4 + 0$

Solve the equation.

Add $4$ and $0$ .

$- 8 y = 4$

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

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

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

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 8$ .

Cancel the common factor.

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

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

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

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ and $- 8$ .

Factor $4$ out of $4$ .

$y = \frac{4 (1)}{- 8}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $4$ out of $- 8$ .

$y = \frac{4 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot - 2}$

Cancel the common factor.

$y = \frac{4 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot - 2}$

Rewrite the expression.

$y = \frac{1}{- 2}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = - \frac{1}{2}$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, - \frac{1}{2})$

List the intersections.

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

y-intercept(s): $(0, - \frac{1}{2})$
