Determine the x - and y-intercepts of the graph of y=1/4x-2.

Then plot the intercepts to graph the equation.

8 is the x intercept and - 2 is the y

To find the y-intercept, substitute 0 in for x, as where the x value equals 0, the graph is intersecting the y-axis.

y = (1/4) (0) - 2

y = - 2

To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 in for y, as where the y value equals 0, the graph is intersecting the x-axis.

0=1/4x-2

2=1/4x

x=8

Plot the intercepts on the axes, then draw a straight line from one to the other to graph the equation.
