You should remember that at the y-intercept, x will = 0    , if you substitute x=0 into the equation you will find the y-intercept.

Similarly , at the x-intercept, y=0 ..substitute y=0 into the equation to get the x-intercept.

Good luck!    Let me know if you need more help.

If you put x= 0 into the equation to find the y-intercept yo will get y= -1/4(0) +2  = 2

    So the y-intercept is (0,2)    <------ you got that one

 

Put y=0 to find the x-intercept   0 = -1/4(x) + 2

-2 = -1/4x

-2/(-1/4) = x = 8      so the x-intercept is  (8,0)      Do you see?
