x-intercept: $4$ $4$
y-intercept: $- 4$ $-4$

Explanation:

The x-intercept is the value of $x$ $x$ where the equation crosses the X-axis; note that the X-axis is the collection of points for which $y = 0$ $y=0$ , so another way of saying this is: the x-intercept is the value of $x$ $x$ when $y = 0$ $y=0$
$(x - y = 4)$ $(x-y=4)$ with $y = 0 \to (x - 0 = 4) \to (x = 4)$ $y=0 rarr (x-0=4) rarr (x=4)$

Similarly, the y-intercept is the value of $y$ $y$ when $x = 0$ $x=0$
$(x - y = 4)$ $(x-y=4)$ with $x = 0 \to (0 - y = 4) \to (y = - 4)$ $x=0 rarr (0-y=4) rarr (y=-4)$
