y-intercept : $6$ $6$
x-intercept : $- 3$ $-3$

Explanation:

Interception of $x$ $x$ can be found by assuming the value of $y$ $y$ to be $0$ $0$ since this is how $x$ $x$ can intercept $y$ $y$ , by reaching it's axis with a value of $0$ $0$ .

Same goes with interception of $y$ $y$ .

Regarding your question :

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

By using the formulae $y = m x + c$ $y=mx+c$
$c$ $c$ stands for $y$ $y$ -intercept
∴ $y$ $y$ -intercept = 6

To find $x$ $x$ -intercept, $y = 0$ $y=0$
∴ $0 = 2 x + 6$ $0 = 2x+6$
∴ $x$ $x$ -intercept = $- 3$ $-3$

$y$ $y$ -Int. $= 6$ $= 6$

$x$ $x$ -Int. = $- 3$ $-3$

Explanation:

To find the $x$ $x$ intercept, you let $y = 0$ $y=0$

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

Then you minus $6$ $6$ on both sides

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

Then you divide by $2$ $2$ on both sides

$x = - 3$ $x=-3$

To find the $y$ $y$ -intercept, you let $x = 0$ $x=0$

$y = 2 \times 0 + 6$ $y = 2xx0+6$

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

$y = 6$ $y=6$
