, reduce

Therefore, it has and y-intercept
f(y)=0:

-->

, x intercept.
We'll see in the graph:
--- see points (-9/2,-3/2) --

What is the x- and y-intercepts of this equation:
4x + 12y = -18
---------
x-intercept:
Let y=0
Then 4x = -18
x = -9/2
----------
y-intercept:
Let x=0
Then 12y = -18
y = -3/2
