Final answer:

The x-intercept is -3, 0 and the y-intercept is 0, 9.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept, we set y = 0 and solve for x. Plugging y = 0 into the equation, we get -3x + 0 = 9. Solving for x, we find x = -3. Therefore, the x-intercept is (Strong)-3(/Strong), 0.

To find the y-intercept, we set x = 0 and solve for y. Plugging x = 0 into the equation, we get -3(0) + y = 9. Solving for y, we find y = 9. Therefore, the y-intercept is 0, (Strong)9(/Strong).
