When you have a y-intercept, the x-value will equal zero. So, in order to find the y-intercept, make your x=0 in your equation. It will look like this: 3%280%29-2y-9=0. Now, solve the equation:
-2y=9
y=%28-9%2F2%29
The y-intercept is the point (0, (-9/2)).
The x-intercept will be found by making the y=0. The equation will be 3x-2%280%29-9=0. Now solve:
3x-9=0
3x=9
x=3
The x-intercept point is (3,0).
