x-intercept is 3/2

y-intercept is 2

Explanation:

The x-intercept is the value of x when y=0
color(white)("XXX")8x+6(0) = 12
color(white)("XXX")rarr 8x = 12
color(white)("XXX")rarr x = 12/8 =3/2

The y-intercept is the value of y when x=0
color(white)("XXX")8(0)+6y = 12
color(white)("XXX")rarr6y = 12
color(white)("XXX")rarry = 12/6 = 2
