x-intercept means where the graph intercepts(cuts) the x-axis
at x-axis we will have y=0,
so we will get the x-intercept by putting y=0 and y-intercept by putting x=0.
so x-intercept is,
-7x=42

=> x=-6
and y-intercept is 3y=42
=> y=14

so the x & y intercepts are -6 and 14 respectively.
the points of intersection are (-6,0) and (0,14)
