Identify the x-intercept and y-intercept of 2x+4y=82x + 4y = 8.

A

x-int: 4, y-int: 2

B

x-int: 2, y-int: 4

C

x-int: 8, y-int: 8

D

x-int: 4, y-int: -2

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Cover-up method.

  1. x-int (y=0y=0): 2x=8x=42x = 8 \rightarrow x = 4.
  2. y-int (x=0x=0): 4y=8y=24y = 8 \rightarrow y = 2.

💡 Strategic Tip: Divide the constant term by the coefficients.

Choice B is incorrect because swapped. Choice C is incorrect because ignored coefficients. Choice D is incorrect because sign error.
