$\frac{3}{4}$ $3/4$ is the x-intercept, and $- 2$ $-2$ is the y-intercept

Explanation:

To obtain the intercepts, divide the entire equation by the constant ( $- 4$ $-4$ here). We get $\frac{3}{4} x - \frac{8}{4} y = 1$ $3/4x-8/4y=1$ . The coefficient of $x$ $x$ is the x-intercept and the coefficient of $y$ $y$ is the y-intercept.

$x-intercept = \frac{4}{3} and y-intercept = - \frac{1}{2}$ $"x-intercept "=4/3" and y-intercept "=-1/2$

Explanation:

$to find the intercepts, that is where the graph crosses$ $"to find the intercepts, that is where the graph crosses"$
$the x and y axes$ $"the x and y axes"$

$∙ let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept$ $• " let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"$

$∙ let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept$ $• " let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept"$

$x = 0 \Rightarrow 0 - 8 y = 4 \Rightarrow y = - \frac{1}{2} \leftarrow y-intercept$ $x=0rArr0-8y=4rArry=-1/2larrcolor(red)"y-intercept"$

$y = 0 \Rightarrow 3 x - 0 = 4 \Rightarrow x = \frac{4}{3} \leftarrow x-intercept$ $y=0rArr3x-0=4rArrx=4/3larrcolor(red)"x-intercept"$
graph{(y-3/8x+1/2)((x-0)^2+(y+1/2)^2-0.04)((x-4/3)^2+(y-0)^2-0.04)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
