1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the intersections of the given lines with the Cartesian axes (x-axis and y-axis). The lines are:
25) x+2y4=0x + 2y - 4 = 0
26) 3x4y8=03x - 4y - 8 = 0
27) xy+1=0x - y + 1 = 0

2. Solution Steps

To find the intersection with the x-axis, we set y=0y = 0 in the equation of the line and solve for xx.
To find the intersection with the y-axis, we set x=0x = 0 in the equation of the line and solve for yy.
25) x+2y4=0x + 2y - 4 = 0
x-axis intersection (y=0y=0): x+2(0)4=0x=4x + 2(0) - 4 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 4. Intersection point: (4,0)(4, 0)
y-axis intersection (x=0x=0): 0+2y4=02y=4y=20 + 2y - 4 = 0 \Rightarrow 2y = 4 \Rightarrow y = 2. Intersection point: (0,2)(0, 2)
26) 3x4y8=03x - 4y - 8 = 0
x-axis intersection (y=0y=0): 3x4(0)8=03x=8x=833x - 4(0) - 8 = 0 \Rightarrow 3x = 8 \Rightarrow x = \frac{8}{3}. Intersection point: (83,0)(\frac{8}{3}, 0)
y-axis intersection (x=0x=0): 3(0)4y8=04y=8y=23(0) - 4y - 8 = 0 \Rightarrow -4y = 8 \Rightarrow y = -2. Intersection point: (0,2)(0, -2)
27) xy+1=0x - y + 1 = 0
x-axis intersection (y=0y=0): x0+1=0x=1x - 0 + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow x = -1. Intersection point: (1,0)(-1, 0)
y-axis intersection (x=0x=0): 0y+1=0y=10 - y + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow y = 1. Intersection point: (0,1)(0, 1)

3. Final Answer

25) x-axis: (4,0)(4, 0), y-axis: (0,2)(0, 2)
26) x-axis: (83,0)(\frac{8}{3}, 0), y-axis: (0,2)(0, -2)
27) x-axis: (1,0)(-1, 0), y-axis: (0,1)(0, 1)
