I'll assume you mean the graph of 4x plus 3y = 36, since [4x*3y = 36] does not intersect either axis.

If you only need to find the intercepts, and nothing else about the equation, then:

the line intersects the x-axis when [y=0], so plug y=0 and solve for x:

4*x + 3*0 = 36 --> 4*x = 36 --> x = 9, so it intercepts the x-axis at (9,0)

for y-intercept, plug [x=0]: 4*0 + 3*y = 36 --> 3*y = 36 --> y = 12: at point (0,12)
