Answer:

x-int: (-12/9, 0)

y-int: (0, 6)

Explanation:

x-int ==> on x-axis when y=0

y-int ==> on y-axis when x=0

9/4x -1/2y = -3

x-int: 9/4x -1/2(0) = -3

9/4x = -3

9x/4 = -3

9x*4/4=-3*4

9x=-12

x=-12/9 ==> x-int: (-12/9, 0)

y-int: 9/4(0) -1/2y = -3

-1/2y = -3

1/2y=3

y/2=3

y=6 ==> y-int: (0, 6)
