$x-"intercept" = (-2,0)$

$y-"intercept" = (0,6)$

All along the $x$ -axis, the $y$ -value is zero.

All along the $y$ -axis, the $x$ -value is zero.

TO find the $x$ -intercept make $y=0$

$-3x +y =6$

$-3x +0 =6$

$x = -2" "rarr" the point is " (-2,0)$

TO find the $y$ -intercept make $x=0$

$-3x +y = 6$

$0 +y =6$

$y=6" "rarr" the point is " (0,6)$

How do you find x and y intercepts of -3x + y = 6 -3x + y = 6?
