Answer

To find the x- and y-intercepts. set y=0 and x=0, respectively then solve for the remaining variable. (Refer to the step by step part a more detailed explanation.)

Work Step by Step

To find the x-intercept, set y=0 in the equation then solve for x. The x-intercept is $\color{blue}(x,0)$. $\\$To find the y-intercept, set x=0 in the equation then solve for y. THe y-intercept is $\color{red}(0, y)$.
