Answer

x-intercepts: $-3$ and $3$ y-intercepts: $-2$ and $2$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: (1) A point where the graph touches or crosses the x-axis is called an x-intercept. (2) A point where the graph touches or crosses the y-axis is called a y-intercept. Notice that the graph crosses the x-axis at $x=-3$ and $x=3$. Thus, the x-intercepts of the graph are $-3$ and $3$. Verifying with the equation shows that when $y=0$, $x=\pm3$. The graph crosses the y-axis at $y=-2$ and $y-2$. Thus, the y-intercepts of the graph are $-2$ and $2$. Verifying with the equation shows that when $x=0$, $y=\pm2$. Substituting
