Answer: y-intercept is 18, x-intercept is -6

Explanation:

When X is 0, it is the y-intercept

When Y is 0, it is the x-intercept

1) Substitute x for 0 to find the y-intercept

y-3(0)=18

y = 18

y-intercept is 18

2) Substitute y for 0 to find the x-intercept

(0)-3x=18

-3x=18

x=-6

x-intercept is -6
