1 Answer
The explanation is given below.
Explanation:
There are a couple of ways you can find the intercepts. Let us see both.
Method 1:
On the

Method 2:
Another method which is quite useful when the equation of line is given in the standard for such as our problem is to write the equation in the intercept form.
The intercept form is
Divide by
Our
And
As you can see we get the same result as the first method.
The final choice of method is yours.
