To find the x intercept, ALWAYS let y = 0. In this case 3x-y=3, if y = 0, then 3x= 3, so x = 1. That's the x-intercept, which is where the graph crosses the x axis.

To find the y intercept, ALWAYS let x = 0. In this case 3x-y=3, if x = 0, then -y = 3, so y = -3. That's the y-intercept, which is where the graph crosses the y axis.
