Intercepts Slope 071626
1. **State the problem:** Find the x-intercept, y-intercept, and slope of the equation $$4x - y = 8$$.
2. **Rewrite the equation:** To find intercepts and slope, express the equation in slope-intercept form $$y = mx + b$$, where $$m$$ is the slope and $$b$$ is the y-intercept.
3. **Isolate y:**
$$4x - y = 8 \implies -y = 8 - 4x \implies y = 4x - 8$$
4. **Find the y-intercept:** The y-intercept occurs when $$x=0$$.
Substitute $$x=0$$:
$$y = 4(0) - 8 = -8$$
So, the y-intercept is at $$(0, -8)$$.
5. **Find the x-intercept:** The x-intercept occurs when $$y=0$$.
Set $$y=0$$ and solve for $$x$$:
$$0 = 4x - 8 \implies 4x = 8 \implies x = 2$$
So, the x-intercept is at $$(2, 0)$$.
6. **Determine the slope:** From the slope-intercept form $$y = 4x - 8$$, the slope $$m = 4$$.
**Final answers:**
- x-intercept: $$(2, 0)$$
- y-intercept: $$(0, -8)$$
- slope: $$4$$
