You can put this solution on YOUR website!
find the x- and y-intercepts for the equation y= -6x-8
-----
x-intercept ?
Let y = 0; then -6x-8 = 0; and 6x = -8; and x = -4/3
-------------------
y-intercept ?
Let x = 0; then y = -6*0-8; and y = -8
----
PLot (-4/3),0) and (0,-8) and draw a line thru them:
