intercepts = $(- 3, 0), (0, 3)$ $(-3, 0), (0, 3)$

On the rectangular coordinate system place a point at the intercepts and draw a line that passes through them.

To find $x$ $x$ -intercept, set $y = 0$ $y = 0$ ; $x = - 3$ $x = -3$

To find $y$ $y$ -intercept, set $x = 0$ $x = 0$ , $- y = - 3$ $-y = -3$

Divide by $- 1$ $-1$ : $\frac{- y}{- 1} = - \frac{3}{- 1}$ $(-y)/-1 = -3/-1$

So the $y$ $y$ -intercept $= (0, 3)$ $= (0, 3)$

On the rectangular coordinate system place a point at the intercepts and draw a line that passes through them.
