A straight line through points (-3,0) and (0,-3)

The x-intercept is a point on the x-axis, so we put 0 into the y-coordinateand and we get the x-intercept as (-3,0). The y-intercept is a point on the y-axis, so we put 0 into the x-coordinate is 0 and we get the y-intercept as (0,-3). Graph both intercept and then draw a line that goes through both intercepts.
