2x+y=-6

what are the x and y intercepts

Step-by-step explanation:

y intercept

To find the y intercept, make x = 0

2 (0) + y = - 6 zero times anything is 0

0 + y = - 6

The y intercept is (0,-6)

x intercept

The x intercept happens when y = 0

2x + 0 = - 6 zero added to anything = whatever you started with.

2x = - 6 Divide by 2

2x/2 = - 6/2 Do the division

x = - 3

The x intercept = (-3,0)
