We can quickly convert this to slope-intercept form to make it easier to find the y and x intercepts.
Slope intercept form: y = mx + b
Add y to both sides.
2x = -2 + y
Add 2 to both sides.
y = 2x + 2
We automatically know the y-intercept is 2.
To find the x intercept, we need to replace the value of y with 0.
0 = 2x + 2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
-2 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2.
x = -1
The x-intercept is equal to -1.
