x-intercept = $- 2$ $-2$

y-intercept = $6$ $6$

For intercepts of line: x-intercept is when $y = 0$ $y=0$ and y-intercept is when $x = 0$ $x=0$ .

x-intercept

When $y = 0$ $y=0$

$y = 2 x + 6$ $y=2x+6$

$0 = 2 x + 6$ $0=2x+6$

$- 2 x = 6$ $-2x=6$

$x = - \frac{6}{3}$ $x=-6/3$

$x = - 2$ $x=-2$ -----> This is x-intercept!

y-intercept

When $x = 0$ $x=0$

$y = 2 x + 6$ $y=2x+6$

$y = 2 (0) + 6$ $y=2(0) + 6$

$y = 0 + 6$ $y=0+6$

$y = 6$ $y=6$ ------> This is y-intercept!
