x-intercept =32
y-intercept =34

Explanation:

This is a linear equation. That is, the equation of a straight line.

When this line crosses the x-axis- the x-intercept, the corresponding y-coordinate at this point will be zero. Substitute y = 0 into the equation to obtain x-intercept.

y=0 gives 0+2x=3x=32

Similarly, when the line crosses the y-axis- the y-intercept, the corresponding x-coordinate will be zero. Substitute x = o into equation to obtain y-intercept.

4y+0=3y=34=34
