The given equation is expressed as

y = - x

We would substitute values for x into the equation to get corresponding values for y. Thus, we have

If x = 0, y = 0

If x = 1, y = - 1

If x = 2, y = - 2

If x = 3, y = - 3

We would plot these values on the graph as shown below

The values of x are plotted on the horizontal axis while the values of y are plotted on the vertical axis.

The x intercept is the value of x when y = 0

If y = 0, then

0 = - x

x = 0

Thus, x intercept = 0

The y intercept is the value of when x = 0

If x = 0, then

y = - 0

y = 0

Thus, y intercept = 0
