See a solution process below:

To find the $y$ $y$ -intercept, set $x$ $x$ equal to $0$ $0$ and calculate $y$ $y$ :

$y = - 0 + 1000$ $y = -0 + 1000$

$y = 1000$ $y = 1000$ or $(0, 1000)$ $(0, 1000)$

To find the $x$ $x$ -intercept, set $y$ $y$ equal to $0$ $0$ and solve for $x$ $x$ :

$0 = - x + 1000$ $0 = -x + 1000$

$0 + x = - x + x + 1000$ $0 + color(red)(x) = -x + color(red)(x) + 1000$

$x = 0 + 1000$ $x = 0 + 1000$

$x = 1000$ $x = 1000$ or $(1000, 0)$ $(1000, 0)$
