You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y intercept occurs when he x coordinate is 0. So set x =0 and solve
y+=+%28-3%2F4%29++%2A0+%2B+6+
y+=+6 so the y intercept is the point (0, 6)
x intercept occurs when the y coordinate = 0
0+=+%28-3%2F4%29x+%2B+6
-6+=+%28-3%2F4%29+x
-6%2A+%284%2F3%29+=+-x+
-8+=+-x
+8+=+x
so the x intercept is the point (8, 0)
