$(- \frac{8}{3}, 0) and (0, 2)$ $(-8/3,0)"and " (0,2)$

Explanation:

$to find the intercepts$ $"to find the intercepts"$

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

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

$x = 0 \to 0 + 4 y = 8 \Rightarrow y = 2 \leftarrow y-intercept$ $x=0to0+4y=8rArry=2larrcolor(red)" y-intercept"$

$y = 0 \to - 3 x = 8 \Rightarrow x = - \frac{8}{3} \leftarrow x-intercept$ $y=0to-3x=8rArrx=-8/3larrcolor(red)" x-intercept"$

$expressing these as ordered pairs$ $" expressing these as ordered pairs"$

$\Rightarrow (0, 2) and (- \frac{8}{3}, 0)$ $rArr(0,2)" and " (-8/3,0)$
