$x$ $x$ intercept is $- 2$ $-2$ and $y$ $y$ intercept is $2$ $2$ .

Explanation:

$\times y = x + 2$ $color(white)xxy=x+2$

For $y = 0$ $y=0$ ,
$\times x + 2 = 0$ $color(white)xxx+2=0$
$\Rightarrow x + 2 - 2 = 0 - 2$ $=>x+2color(red)(-2)=0color(red)(-2)$
$\Rightarrow x = - 2$ $=>x=-2$

For $x = 0$ $x=0$ ,
$\times y = 0 + 2$ $color(white)xxy=0+2$
$\Rightarrow y = 2$ $=>y=2$

$x$ $x$ intercept is $- 2$ $-2$ and $y$ $y$ intercept is $2$ $2$ .
