When y = 0, the value of x is 12. So, the x-intercept is 12.

When x = 0, the value of y is – 24. So, the y-intercept is –24.

The x-intercept 12 means that after 12 seconds, the

Scuba driver is at a depth of 0 meters or at surface.

The y-intercept –24 means that at time 0 sec, the

Scuba driver is at a depth of 24 meters below sea level.

The x intercept is 12 and the y-intercept is –24.
