You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=6x-12
x -2 -1 0 1 2
y __ +__ +__++__+__
plug in y=6x-12 given values for x and calculate y

y=6x-12....if x=-2, we will have
y=6%28-2%29-12
y=-12-12
y=-24
y=6x-12....if x=-1, we will have
y=6%28-1%29-12
y=-6-12
y=-18
y=6x-12....if x=0, we will have
y=6%280%29-12
y=0-12
y=-12
y=6x-12....if x=1, we will have
y=6%281%29-12
y=6-12
y=-6
y=6x-12....if x=2, we will have
y=6%282%29-12
y=12-12
y=0
now complete the table:
x -2 ... -1 ... 0 . 1 2
y -24 -18 +-12++-6+0
as you can see from the table, if x=0, y=-12; so, y-intercept is -12
and if x=2, y=0; so, x-intercept is 2
see it on a graph:
