Start with the given equation
Let's find the x-intercept
To find the x-intercept, let y=0 and solve for x:
Plug in
Simplify
Divide both sides by 1
Reduce
So the x-intercept is )
(note: the x-intercept will always have a y-coordinate equal to zero)

So we have these intercepts:
x-intercept:
y-intercept:
Now plot the two points and
Now draw a line through the two points to graph
