Answer:

y= 0, -6

x= 0, -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding intercepts are easy. But I find that a lot of students find it confusing and struggle with plotting the points and finding the intercepts.

So, I'll explain step by step the best I can.

1. Plot your points

2. Find the y intercept. In this case, our first intercept is 0 and our second is -6 (0, -6)

3. Find your x intercept. Our first intercept for x is also 0, and our second is -8 (0, -8)
