y%2B4=0
X-intercept: There is no x-intercept, the line never crosses the x-axis.
To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y.
y%2B4=0
y=-4
Y-intercept:(0,-4)

6x%2B12y=24
To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x.
6x%2B12y=24
6x%2B12%280%29=24
6x=24
x=4
X-intercept:(4,0)
To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y
6x%2B12y=24
6%280%29%2B12y=24
12y=24
y=2
Y-intercept:(0,2)
