Answer

(a) The x-intercept is (9,0), and the y-intercept is (0,-6) (b) See below

Work Step by Step

To find the x-intercept(s), we set f(x) to 0 and solve for x: $0=\frac{2}{3}x-6$ $\frac{2}{3}x=6$ $x=6\cdot\frac{3}{2}$ $x=9$ To find the y-intercept(s), we set x to 0 and solve for f(x): $f(x)=\frac{2}{3}(0)-6$ $f(x)=0-6$ $f(x)=-6$
