The equation is .
The x-intercept is the point (or the x-coordinate of the point in the x-axis) where .
In this case, for ,
--->--->--->---> .
The x-intercept is the value FOR ,
or the point (-1.0).
The y-intercept is the point (or the y-coordinate of the point in the t-axis) where .
In this case, for ,
---> .
The y-intercept is the value for ,
or the point (0,2).
Since two points uniquely determine a line,
you can use the two axis intercept points two graph the line.
You just plot the two points (on an x-y coordinate space), and connect them with a straight line:
