Answer

x-intercepts: $(-3, 0)$ and $(3, 0)$ y-intercept: $(0, -2)$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: (1) An x-intercept is a point where the graph crosses or touches the x-axis. Its coordinates are $(a, 0)$ where $a$ is a real number. (2) A y-intercept is a point where the graph crosses or touches the y-axis. Its coordinates are $(0, b)$ where $b$ is a real number. Thus, the given graph has the following intercepts: x-intercepts: $(-3, 0)$ and $(3, 0)$ y-intercept: $(0, -2)$
