You can set the value of the opposite variable equal to 0 to find the intercept of the other variable.

Let's find the x intercept first.

4x - 9(0) = 30

4x = 30

Divide both sides by 4.

The x intercept is 7.5

Now the y intercept.

4(0) - 9y = 30

-9y = 30

Divide both sides by -9.

The y intercept is -3.33
