X and Y both represent the position on a graph. So, to find the X- or Y- intercepts, simply set the other value to zero. (After all, the x-intercept is when y is zero, and vice versa.) So for X... 2/3x-1/3(0)=2 2/3x=2 /(2/3) x=3 So the X-intercept is at (3,0). Now, the y-intercept. 2/3(0)-1/3y=2 -1/3y=2 /(-1/3) y=-6 So the Y-intercept is at (0,-6).
