x intercept = where the function crosses the x axis (x,0)

y intercept = where the function crosses the y-axis (0,y)

A. y=7/2x-2

x intercept , replace y by 0 and solve for x:

0 =7/2x-2

2= 7/2 x

2 / (7/2) = x

x= 4/7

y-intercept, replace x by 0 and solve for y

y= 7/2x-2

y= 7/2 (0) -2

y=-2

B.

x-intercept:

x=-3

y-intercept

0=-3

It doesn't have a y-intercept.
