We're given the line in slope-intercept form so see the y-intercept is 33 and setting y=0y=0 we solve for the x-intercept of 44.

Explanation:

For the y-intercept we substitute x=0x=0 and get y=3y=3 or we can just read off 33 from the equation given in slope-intercept form.

For the x-intercept we substitute y=0y=0 and solve for xx.

0 = -3/4 x + 30=34x+3

3/4 x = 334x=3

x = 4x=4 is the x intercept.
