What is the y intercept of the line with the equation 4x + 2 = 12

4x-2y=12  

plug in 0 to find y or x intercept: 4x-2(0)=12 4(0)-2y=12

4x=12 2y=12

x=2 y=-4

(2,0) (0,-4)

so the y-intercept is -4 and x-intercept is 2

explanation:

the fossil record extends back to a dog-like ancestor some 55 million years ago, which gave rise to the first horse-like species 55 to 42 million years ago in the genus eohippus.
