1. Let's analyze the given linear equations and find the intercepts.
2. The equation given is $y = \frac{8}{3}x - 4$.
3. The y-intercept occurs when $x=0$. Substitute $x=0$ into the equation:
$$y = \frac{8}{3} \times 0 - 4 = -4$$
So, the y-intercept is indeed $-4$.
4. The x-intercept occurs when $y=0$. Set $y=0$ and solve for $x$:
$$0 = \frac{8}{3}x - 4$$
Add 4 to both sides:
$$4 = \frac{8}{3}x$$
Divide both sides by $\frac{8}{3}$:
$$x = \frac{4}{\frac{8}{3}} = 4 \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{12}{8}$$
Simplify the fraction:
$$x = \frac{\cancel{12}^{3}}{\cancel{8}^{2}} = \frac{3}{2}$$
5. Therefore, the x-intercept is $\frac{3}{2}$, not $\frac{2}{3}$.
6. Summary:
- Y-intercept: $-4$ (correct)
- X-intercept: $\frac{3}{2}$ (not $\frac{2}{3}$)
