Find the x and y Intercepts f(x)=4x+2x+2

$f (x) = 4 x + 2 x + 2$

Find the x-intercepts.

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

$0 = 4 x + 2 x + 2$

Solve the equation.

Rewrite the equation as $4 x + 2 x + 2 = 0$ .

$4 x + 2 x + 2 = 0$

Add $4 x$ and $2 x$ .

$6 x + 2 = 0$

Subtract $2$ from both sides of the equation.

$6 x = - 2$

Divide each term in $6 x = - 2$ by $6$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $6 x = - 2$ by $6$ .

$\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{- 2}{6}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $6$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{- 2}{6}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{- 2}{6}$

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 2$ and $6$ .

Factor $2$ out of $- 2$ .

$x = \frac{2 (- 1)}{6}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $6$ .

$x = \frac{2 \cdot - 1}{2 \cdot 3}$

Cancel the common factor.

$x = \frac{2 \cdot - 1}{2 \cdot 3}$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = \frac{- 1}{3}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$x = - \frac{1}{3}$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(- \frac{1}{3}, 0)$

Find the y-intercepts.

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

$y = 4 (0) + 2 (0) + 2$

Solve the equation.

Remove parentheses.

$y = 4 (0) + 2 (0) + 2$

Simplify $4 (0) + 2 (0) + 2$ .

Simplify each term.

Multiply $4$ by $0$ .

$y = 0 + 2 (0) + 2$

Multiply $2$ by $0$ .

$y = 0 + 0 + 2$

Simplify by adding numbers.

Add $0$ and $0$ .

$y = 0 + 2$

Add $0$ and $2$ .

$y = 2$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, 2)$

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $(- \frac{1}{3}, 0)$

y-intercept(s): $(0, 2)$
