x-intercept is: $x=-18$
y-intercept is: $y=-12$

$y= - 2/3x - 12$

This is in the slope point form $y=mx+b$ , m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

$m=-2/3$

$b = -12$

So y-intercept is: $y=-12$

to find the x-intercept set $y=0$ and solve for $x$ :

$0= - 2/3x - 12$

$12= - 2/3x$

$x=-18$

So x-intercept is: $x=-18$

graph{- 2/3x - 12 [-29.75, 10.25, -15.12, 4.88]}
