Answer:

y-intercept is (0, −2)

x-intercept is (2/3, 0)

Explanation:

y=3x-2

y=mx+c (m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept)

Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, −2)

To determine the x-intercept, we set y equal to zero and solve for x.

So, 0=3x-2. We can rearrange this... 2=3x therefore x=2/3

The x-intercept is (2/3, 0)

Hope this helps!
