Answer:

(-3, 0) and (1, 0)

(0, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept is the point where y = 0.

y-intercept is the point where x = 0.

or points ...

f(x) = y = -4×|x + 1| + 8

let's start with the y-intercept (x = 0)

y = -4×1 + 8 = -4 + 8 = 4

the y-intercept point (only 1 point) is (0, 4).

for x = 0 the absolute value function contains 0+1. and that is always +1.

the x-intercept(s) :

0 = -4×|x + 1| + 8 (dividing by -4)

0 = |x + 1| - 2

|x + 1| = 2

because of the absolute value we have 2 possibilities :

+(x + 1) = 2

x + 1 = 2

x = 1

and

-(x + 1) = 2

-x - 1 = 2

-x = 3

x = -3

so the points of x-intercept are (-3, 0) and (1, 0)
