the intercept made by the straight line on x axis is 6
the intercept made by the straight line on y axis is -2

Explanation:

$x - 3 y = 6$ $x-3y=6$
Substitute x=0, to get y intercept
$0 - 3 y = 6$ $0-3y=6$
$- 3 y = 6$ $-3y=6$
$- \frac{3}{3} y = \frac{6}{3}$ $-3/3y=6/3$
$y = - 2$ $y=-2$
Substitute y=0, to get x intercept
$x - 3 (0) = 6$ $x-3(0)=6$
$x - 0 = 6$ $x-0=6$
$x = 6$ $x=6$
Hence,
the intercept made by the straight line on x axis is 6
the intercept made by the straight line on y axis is -2
