State the X - and Y - intercepts of each function.

2/3x - 1/3y = 2

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).
