Find the x intercept and y intercept of the following

equations, and sketch the graphs.

1. y=2x+3

2. y = (1/2) x - 4

3. 4x-2y=5

For number 1, the x-intercept is - 1.5 and the y - intercept is 3. For number 2, the x-intercept is 8 and the y-intercept is - 4. For number 3, the x-intercept is - 10 and the y-intercept is 5. To get these answers, use the formula of y=mx+b. M is the slope and b is the y-intercept so, for number 3, you need to divide everything by - 2 to get y alone, then add 1/2 to both sides to use inverse operations. The real equation for number 3 is y=1/2x+5.
