The equation is .

First find the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is the value of y, when x = 0.

                       (Substitute x = 0 in original equation)

                                   (Apply multiplication property of zero: )

The y-intercept is , so the graph intersects the y-axis at .

Next find the x-intercept.

The x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0.

                             (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)

                (Add 4 to each side)

                                  (Apply additive inverse property: )

                        (Divide each side by 2.5)

                                (Cancel common terms)

                                   (Divide: )

The x-intercept is 1.6, so the graph intersects the x-axis at ( 1.6, 0).

Graph Using Intercepts:

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

1.     Draw a coordinate plane.

2.     Plot the points.

3.     Draw a line through these points.
