$y = 6$ $y=6$ , $x = - 2$ $x=-2$

The y axis intercept occurs where $x = 0$ $x=0$ :

$y = 3 (0) + 6 = 6$ $y=3(0)+6=6$

Coordinates:

$(0, 6)$ $(0,6)$

The x axis intercept occurs where $y = 0$ $y=0$ :

$3 x + 6 = 0$ $3x+6=0$

$3 x = - 6$ $3x=-6$

$x = \frac{- 6}{3} = - 2$ $x=(-6)/3=-2$

Coordinates:

$(- 2, 0)$ $(-2,0)$
