#"x-intercept "=3," y-intercept "=3#

Explanation:

#"to find the intercepts, that is where the graph crosses"#
#"the x and y axes"#

#• " let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"#

#• " let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept"#

#x=0rArry=3-0=3larrcolor(red)"y-intercept"#

#y=0rArr3-x=0rArrx=3larrcolor(red)"x-intercept"#
graph{3-x [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
