$color(green)("x-intercept " = -2$

$color(blue)("y-intercept " = 3/4$

$-3x + 8y = 6$

When x = 0, we get the y-intercept.

$8y = 6 " or " y = 6/8 = 3/4$

$"y-intercept " = 3/4$

When y = 0, we get the x-intercept.

$-3 x = 6 " or " x = -2$

$"x-intercept " = -2$

What are the intercepts of -3x+8y=6-3x+8y=6?
