To find the x and y intercepts of the equation \(3/4 + x = 1/2y\), you can follow these steps:

**1. To find the x-intercept (where the line crosses the x-axis):**
Set \(y = 0\) and solve for \(x\):
\(3/4 + x = 1/2(0)\)
\(3/4 + x = 0\)
\(x = -3/4\)

So, the x-intercept is \((-3/4, 0)\).

**2. To find the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis):**
Set \(x = 0\) and solve for \(y\):
\(3/4 + 0 = 1/2y\)
\(3/4 = 1/2y\)

Now, isolate \(y\):
\(1/2y = 3/4\)
\(y = (3/4) * 2\)
\(y = 3/2\)

So, the y-intercept is \((0, 3/2
