The equation is .
First find the y-intercept.
\The y-intercept is the value of y, when x = 0.
\ (Substitute x = 0 in original equation)
(Multiply:
)
(Additive identity proeprty:
)
The y-intercept is .
Next find the x-intercept.
\The x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0.
\ (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)
(Apply Additive identity property:
)
(Divide each side by 3) \ \
(Cancel common terms) \ \
The x-intercept is .
The x-intercept is .
The y-intercept is .
