Answer:
x-intercept ⇨ -1/3
y-intercept ⇨ 1
Step-by-step explanation:
⟺ Finding the x-intercept, substitute y = 0
Move 1 to subtract the another side.
Then move 3 to divide -1, leaving only x as a subject since we want to find the x-intercept.

Tips:
Here's the tips about finding the intercepts of the graph.
⟺ For x-intercept, It's like solving an equation to find the x-term.
⟺ For y-intercept, It's like using the constant to answer.
As for y = mx+b where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
For a linear function, It's not necessary to substitute x = 0 just to find y-intercept as we can answer the constant as our y-intercept.
