Answer: a. - n ( 0.7 + ( - 0.7 ) )

To find the x-intercept, make  y  equal to zero, and solve for  x. to find the y-intercept, make  x  equal to zero, and solve for  y.explanation: y=4x−2x-intercept0=4x−2add  2  to both sides of the equation.2=4xdivide both sides by  4.24=xsimplify.12=xswitch sides.x=12y-intercepty=4(0)−2y=−2
