Answer:

x-intercept: (3, 0)

y-intercept: (0, -10)

Explanation:

X-intercept:

We can see that the line crosses the x-axis at the 3. Let's imagine that this automatically makes a point. If the point is directly on the line, that means that the opposite coordinate (in this case, the y-coordinate) will be 0. This is because the point is directly at the 0 on the y-axis; it doesn't go up nor down.

Y-intercept:

The same goes for the opposite coordinate: if we picture a point at where the line intercepts the y-axis, there will be a point at -10 on the y-axis. Since the point is directly at 0 on the x-axis (meaning that it doesn't go left nor right) we know that the x-coordinate will be 0.
