x=intercept is $(8,0)$ and y-intercept is $(0,-24)$

All along the $x$ axis, $y=0$ and all along the $y$ axis, $x=0$

TO find the $x$ -intercept, make $y=0$

$3x-6(0) = 24$
$3x = 24$
$x = 8" "rarr$ x=intercept is $(8,0)$

TO find the $y$ intercept, make $x$ =0

$3(0) -y = 24$
$-y = 24$
$y = -24" "rarr$ y-intercept is $(0,-24)$
