The X-intercept is found when Y = 0
& the Y-intercept is found when X = 0
Given:
To find the X-intercept I am going to solve this equation for Y
Add 3X to both sides
Simplify the equation
Now we set Y = 0 to find the X-intercept
subtract 4 from both sides
Divide both sides by 2

The X-intercept is -2
