Restate the question: What are the intercepts of the line -4x + y = 8?
To find the y-intercept, let x=0: -4(0)+y=8 <=> y=8
To find the x-intercept, let y=0: -4x+(0)=8 <=> -4x=8 <=> -4x/(-4)=8/(-4) <=> x=-2
With a little practice, and if the numbers are 'nice', you can almost do this by just looking at the equation, or you can think of (0,_),(_,0). My students call this "googly eyes"!
Also note that most texts define an intercept as a number ("the y-intercept is 8"), but it is rare to consider "The y-intercept is (0,8)." to be correct.

How do you find x and y intercepts to this 4x -20?
24
What is 4x - y equals 8 as a slope?
-4
Which of the following line is perpendicular to y 4x plus 2?
If you mean: y = 4x+2 then the line perpendicular to it will have a slope of -1/4
What is the equation of a line parallel to y -4x 1 and passes through (21)?
If you mean y = -4x+1 and (2, 1) then the parallel equation is y = -4x+9
What are the intercepts for the line -4x plus y equals 8?
-4x + y = 8At the x-intercept, 'y' is zero.-4x = 8-x = 2x = -2At the y-intercept, 'x' is zero.y = 8
What is the x- and y-intercepts of the line 4x-y equals 20?
-16
What are the intercepts of y 4x 2?
If you mean: y = 4x+2 then 4 is the slope and 2 is the y intercept
What is 8 plus y equals 4x in standard form?
8 + y = 4x8 + y - 4x = 4x - 4x 8 + y - 4x = 0 8 - 4x + y = 0
What is the greatest number of y-intercepts a line can have?
There is no limit to the number of y-intercepts a line can have. The axis itself is a line and it intercepts itself an infinite number of times.
What are the intercepts of y 4x and minus 2?
The x intercept is 0.5 and the y intercept is -2.

What is intercepts of 4x plus 3y equals 6y?
4x + 3y = 6y 4x = 3y 4/3 x = y The slope is 4/3 and the y intercept is 0.
What could be the equation of a line parallel to the line y equals 4x?
y equals 4x+1 is a parallel line to y equals 4x.
What is the y-intercept 4x- 2y 8?
4x - 2y = 8 Rearrange into the 'straight line ' form of y = mx + c Hence -2y = -4x + 8 y = 2x - 4 The 'c' value is the y-intercept, which '-4' . The steepness/gradient of the slope is '2'.
What are x and y intercepts?
The x and y intercepts are where a line on a graph intersects (crosses over) the x or y axis.
