Where is y in your expression?
In any case, to find x-intercept, let y = 0 and solve for x.
To find y-intercepts, let x = 0 and solve for y.
To find domain, set denominator to zero and solve for x.
x+3 = 0
x = -3
The domain is all real numbers except for x = -3.
You can find the intercepts given the above information.

what is the x and y intercepts of the function
(x^2-16)/ (x+3)
---
x-intercept ?
Let y = 0 and solve for "x":
Solve x^2-16 = 0
x = 4 or x = -4
-------------------------
y-intercept ?
Let x = 0 and solve for "y":
y = -16/3
----------------------
also what is the domain?
The denominator cannot be zero.
Domain: All Real Numbers except x = -3
