The Y intercept is where the line crosses the Y axis
The X intercept is where the line crosses the X axis
I would convert this to Slope-Intercept, it just makes it easier.

Divide both sides by -3

Right off the bat you know that -4 is your y-intercept.
The X-intercept is when



Y-intercept=-4
X-intercept=2
*CHECK*
You can graph the line and see approximately if these two points are right.

Hope this helps!
