x-intercept is (4,0)
y-intercept is (0,3)

Explanation:

To find x intercepts, make y=0 since we know x intercepts always have 0 for the y value of the coordinate
3x4(0)=12
x=4

So the x-intercept is (4,0)

To find y intercepts, make x=0 since we know y intercepts always have 0 for the x value of the coordinate
3(0)4y=12
y=3

So the y-intercept is (0,3)
