1. Answer:

   Step-by-step explanation:

   The x-axis refers to the horizontal line that goes from left to right on a coordinate plane, AKA y=0.

   1. Set y=0 for the equation y = ½x – 4
   2. 0 = ½x – 4
   3. Bring over the negative 4 from the right side to the left by adding 4 to each side
   4. 4 = ½x
   5. Multiply both side by 2 to get rid of the ½ (Remember, we want x by itself)
   6. 8 = x
   7. Plug your new acquired x value (x = 8) to the original function ( y = ½x – 4)
   8. y = ½(8) – 4
   9. y = 4-4
   10. y = 0
   11. You’re coordinate on where the line intersects the x-axis should be (8,0)
