the intercept made by the straight line on x axis is 6
the intercept made by the straight line on y axis is -2

Explanation:

x-3y=6
Substitute x=0, to get y intercept
0-3y=6
-3y=6
-3/3y=6/3
y=-2
Substitute y=0, to get x intercept
x-3(0)=6
x-0=6
x=6
Hence,
the intercept made by the straight line on x axis is 6
the intercept made by the straight line on y axis is -2
