Yes, in this case the x and y intercepts don't help because they're the same point (0,0).
Re-arrange your equation.

Pick two points (one positive, one negative) and use those to plot.
I'll pick x=5 and x=-5.

(5,2)

(-5,-2)

.
Now plot these two points and the line that connects them.

Put in the form , where = slope
and = y-intercept

Add to both sides

Divide both sides by

Since , the y-intercept is (0,0)
If I make , then , so
the x-intercept is (0,0) also
These 2 pieces of information just mean that
the line goes through the origin.
Now pick any , say
and solve for

Now you have 2 points (0,0) and (10,4)
Since any 2 points determine a line, you
can draw the graph
