the x-intercept is when the graph crosses (or touches) the x-axis; at this point, y=0

similarly: the y-intercept is when the graph crosses (or touches) the y-axis; at this point, x=0

so to find an intercept, set the other value equal to 0 and solve

x-int ... 0=(-2/3)x ... x=0

y-int ... y=(-2/3)0 ... y=0

both intercepts are at the origin (0,0)
