An x-intercept is the value where a graph of a line crosses the x-axis. I am not sure how a fraction could constitute a line and, therefore, how it could cross the x-axis.

solve the x and you find the y
To find the y intercept put zero in for x and solve. To find the x intercept put zero in for y and solve. (0,8) and (-8,0)
To find the x-intercept, plug 0 in for y: 0 = -x-1, so x = -1. To find the y-intercept, plug zero in for x: y=-0-1, so y = -1 The x-intercept is (0,-1) and the y-intercept is (-1,0)
You look for the value of 0 in the y column, and find out what x has to be for y=0. This value of x is you x-axis intercept. (Reverse "x" and "y" in the above description to find the y-intercept, if there is one).
To find the y-intercept, plug 0 in for x: 3y = -12 y = -4To find the x-intercept, plug 0 in for y: 2x = -12 x = -6The y-intercept is y = -4, and the x-intercept is x = -6.
