We find the x-intercept by setting y = 0.
2x + 9(0) = 18
2x = 18
x = 9
We find the y-intercept by setting x = 0.
2(0) + 9y = 18
9y = 18
y = 2

Hi,

x-intercepts and y-intercepts of 

2x + 9y = 18  x-intercepts when  y = 0

2x = 18

x = 9  Pt(9,0) a point on the line

2x + 9y = 18  y-intercepts when  x = 0

9y = 18

y = 2  Pt(0,2)a point on the line
