The intercepts are (−2,0) and (0,4)

Explanation:

To find the x intercept put y=0 and solve for x
To find the y intercept put x=0 and solve for y

At y=0 , x=−2
At x=0 , y=4

So the intercepts are (−2,0) and (0,4)

The x-intercept is (−2,0) and the y-intercept is (0,4).

Explanation:

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

So

x-intercept ⇒2x−y=−4

⇒2x−0=−4

⇒x=−2

and

y-intercept: ⇒2x−y=−4

⇒2(0)−y=−4

⇒y=4
