The linear function is
.
Replace
with y

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0.
\
(Substitute 0 for x)
(Apply Zero propduct property:
)
(Apply Additive identity property:
)
The y-intercept is -3. The graph crosses the y-axis at (0, -3).
The x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0.
\
(Substitute 0 for y)
According to addition property of equality: if a = b, then a + c = b + c.
\
(Apply Add 3 to each side)
(Apply Additive identity property:
)
(Apply Additive identity property:
)
According to division property of equality: if
, then
.
(Divide each side by 0.5)
(Cancel common terms)
(Divide:
)
The x - intercept is 6. The graph crosses the x - axis at (6, 0).
Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.
