Explanation:

Step1: Find x-intercept, set y=0

$4x + 8(0) = 20$

Step2: Solve for x

$4x = 20 \implies x = \frac{20}{4} = 5$

Step3: Find y-intercept, set x=0

$4(0) + 8y = 20$

Step4: Solve for y

$8y = 20 \implies y = \frac{20}{8} = \frac{5}{2}$

Answer:

x-intercept: $5$
y-intercept: $\frac{5}{2}$
