Answer:

  • x-intercept = -3
  • y-intercept = 6

Explanation:

For the purpose, it is convenient to put the equation into intercept form:

... x/x-intercept + y/y-intercept = 1

... 2x -y = -6 . . . . add -8-y to the equation given

... x/-3 +y/6 = 1 . . . . divide by -6

The x-intercept is -3; the y-intercept is 6.

See the attached for a graph. The graph is a line through the intercept points.
