Answer

$x$-intercept: $x=2$ $y$-intercept: $y=-6$

Work Step by Step

$6x-2y-12=0$ To find this equation's $x$-intercept, set $y$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$: $6x-2y-12=0$ $6x-2(0)-12=0$ $6x-12=0$ $6x=12$ $x=\dfrac{12}{6}$ $x=2$ To find this equation's $y$-intercept, set $x$ equal to $0$ and solve for $y$: $6x-2y-12=0$ $6(0)-2y-12=0$ $-2y-12=0$ $-2y=12$ $y=-\dfrac{12}{2}$ $y=-6$ The intercepts of this equation are now known. The graph is shown below:
