Answer:

y = 12

x = 10/3

Explanation:

y = -3.6x + 12

From this equation, which is in slope intercept form (y = mx+b), we already know that b represents the y-intercept, so that means the y-intercept is 12.

To find the x-intercept, we need to make y equal 0 to find x. So:

0 = -3.6x + 12

-3.6x = -12

x = 3.33333 --> 3 1/3

x = 10/3

Answer:
x-intercept: 10/3
y-intercept: 12

Steps:
Finding x
y=-3.6x+12
0= -3.6x+12
3.6x=12
x=10/3

Finding y
y=-3.6x+12
y=-3.6(0)+12
y=12
