To find the x-intercept, plug zero into y and solve for x.

2x+3(0)=-18

2x=-18
/2     /2

x=-9
To solve for the y-intercept, do the same thing, but instead plug zero into the x-intercept to solve for y.

2(0)+3y=-18
3y=-18
/3     /3

y=-6

So, your answer to your question is the y-intercept=-6, and the x-intercept=-9
Hope this helps!:)
