$color(purple)("x-intercept "= -6, " y-intercept "= 18$ graph{3x + 18 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Intercept form of linear equation is $x / a + y / b = 1$ where

a is the x-intercept and b the y-intercept.

Given equation is $y = 3 (x + 6)$

$y = 3x + 18$

$3x - y = -18$

$(3/-18)x - y / (-18) = 1$

$x / (-6) + y / (18) = 1$ is the intercept form.

$color(purple)("x-intercept "= -6, " y-intercept "= 18$

What are the x and y intercepts of the linear equation: y=3(x+6)y=3(x+6)?
