Answer
x-intercept: $-6$
y-intercept: $6$
Work Step by Step
RECALL:
(1) A point where the graph touches or crosses the x-axis is called an x-intercept. Given an equation, the x-intercept/s can be found by setting $y=0$ then solving for $x$.
(2) A point where the graph touches or crosses the y-axis is called a y-intercept.
Given an equation, the y-intercept/s can be found by setting $x=0$ then solving for $y$.
Solve for the x-intercept/s by setting $y=0$ then solving for $x$:
$\begin{array}{ccc}
&y &= &x+6
\\&0 &= &x+6
\\&0-6 &= &x+6-6
\\&-6 &= &x
\end{array}$
The x-intercept is $-6$.
Solve for the y-intercept/s by setting $x=0$ then solving for $y$:
$\begin{array}{ccc}
&y &= &x+6
\\&y &= &0+6
\\&y &= &6
\end{array}$
The y-intercept is $6$.
