Put in this form. Y = mX + c
2X - 3Y = 24
- 3Y = - 2X + 24
Y = 2/3X - 8
-------------------
zero out variables in turn
2/3X - 8 = 0
2/3X = 8
X = 12
--------------------X intercept
Y = 2/3(0) - 8
Y = - 8
------------------------Y intercept
(12, - 8)

the x is dependent and the y is independent and the x numbers cant repeat themself and yes they do have intercepts
X intercept: -5 Y intercept: +3
Then there is no x-intercept. No big deal. Lots of functions do not have x- intercepts. For example, y = x2 + 1 or y = 2x
The cosecant function, being defined as 1÷sin(x), has no x intercepts. It has y intercepts at ±∞. (infinity and -infinity)
If there is no y, then the equation is of the form x = c where c is some constant value. And so the line intercepts the x axis at (c,0).
