intercepts = $(-3, 0), (0, 3)$

On the rectangular coordinate system place a point at the intercepts and draw a line that passes through them.

To find $x$ -intercept, set $y = 0$ ; $x = -3$

To find $y$ -intercept, set $x = 0$ , $-y = -3$

Divide by $-1$ : $(-y)/-1 = -3/-1$

So the $y$ -intercept $= (0, 3)$

On the rectangular coordinate system place a point at the intercepts and draw a line that passes through them.
