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

$x - 4 y = 4$

Step 1

Find the x-intercepts.

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

$x - 4 \cdot 0 = 4$

Simplify $x - 4 \cdot 0$ .

Multiply $- 4$ by $0$ .

$x + 0 = 4$

Add $x$ and $0$ .

$x = 4$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

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

Step 2

Find the y-intercepts.

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

$(0) - 4 y = 4$

Solve the equation.

Subtract $4 y$ from $0$ .

$- 4 y = 4$

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

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

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

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

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

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

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

Simplify the right side.

Divide $4$ by $- 4$ .

$y = - 1$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, - 1)$

Step 3

List the intersections.

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

y-intercept(s): $(0, - 1)$
