Given the equation:
4x + 8y = 22
Solve for the intercepts.
Solution:
X-intercept
To solve for the x-intercept, we equate the value of y with 0.
4x + 8(0) = 22
4x = 22
Divide both sides by 4 in order to determine the value of x.
4x/4 =22/4
x-intercept = 11 / 2
Y-intercept
In order to solve for the y-intercept, we must equate x to 0 then solve for y.
4(0) + 8y = 22
8y = 22
Divide both sides by 8 to determine the value of y.
8y/8 = 22/8
y-intercept = 11 / 4
Final answer:
x-intercept = 11 / 2
y-intercept = 11 / 4
