Question: 1 / 400

What is the x-intercept of the line y = -2x + 4?

4

-4

2

-2

The x-intercept of a line is the point where the line crosses the x-axis. To find the x-intercept, we can set y equal to 0 and solve for x. Using the equation y = -2x + 4, we can substitute 0 in for y

0 = -2x + 4

We can then solve for x by subtracting 4 from both sides and dividing both sides by -2:

x = 4/-2

x = -2

Therefore, the x-intercept of the line y = -2x + 4 is -2.

Option A, 4, is incorrect because it is the y-intercept of the line, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Option B, -4, is incorrect because it is the y-value of the x-intercept, instead
