what happens when a line crosses the x-axis? well the 'x-axis' is actually a line with the equation y=0 so now that you know that, you will understand this: whenever you have an x-intercept the y coordinate is 0! AWLAYS!!! so how about you set y=0 in this function. well lets see what happens.
well thats the same as now you can see that so the x-intercept = 2 , or in ordered par notation, (2,0)
NOTE: you do the exact same thing with the y intercept as the equation of the y-axis is x=0 so when looking for the y-intercept, you plug x=0 into the equation and solve for y

------------
At the x-int, y = 0
Sub 0 for y, solve for x

The 
-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the -axis, which is to say the point in the solution set that has the 
-coordinate equal to zero. The ordered pair looks like )
. The only thing you need to do is figure out the value of 
. To do that, substitute 0 for in the equation and do the required arithmetic to determine the value of that results. That will be your value.
