: I missed 2 weeks of class and missed the intercept section. What are the steps to Find the y-intercept and x-intercept of the graph of the equation From what I gather x needs to be set to zero, then the formula worked out? This question is from textbook Algebra for College Students

Basically, that's what you need to do: Set x = 0, then solve for y to get the y-intercept and set y = 0, then solve for x to get the x-intercept.
Set x = 0, solve for y.
Add 6 to both sides.
Divide both sides by 3.
The y-intercept!
Set y = 0, solve for x.
Add 6 to both sides.
Divide both sides by 2.
The x-intercept!
