Answer

graph of $2y=4x+8$:

Work Step by Step

The $x$-intercept is the value of $x$ when $y$ is $0.$ Setting $y=0$ in the given equation, $ 2y=4x+8 ,$ results to \begin{align*} 2(0)&=4x+8 \\ 0&=4x+8 \\ 0-8&=4x+8-8 \\ -8&=4x \\\\ -\dfrac{8}{4}&=\dfrac{4x}{4} \\\\ -2&=x .\end{align*} The $x$-intercept is $( -2,0 )$. The $y$-intercept is the value of $y$ when $x$ is $0.$ Setting $x=0$ in the given equation results to \begin{align*} 2y&=4(0)+8 \\ 2y&=0+8 \\ 2y&=8 \\\\ \dfrac{2y}{2}&=\dfrac{8}{2} \\\\ y&=4 .\end{align*} The $y$-intercept is $( 0,4 )$. Connecting the two intercepts above gives the graph of the given equation.
