**Finding Intercepts of a Line**

**Objective:** Learn to find the x-intercept and y-intercept of a given line.

**Instruction:**

1. **Problem Statement:**

    "Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the line below. Click on "None" if applicable."

2. **Diagram Description:**

    Below the problem statement is a graph with a blue line passing through the coordinate plane. The graph has the following features:
    - The x-axis and y-axis range from -6 to 6.
    - The blue line crosses the y-axis at y = +2.
    - The blue line crosses the x-axis at x = -2.
    - The graph is divided into a grid with each square representing one unit.

3. **Action Button:**
   
    There is a "Continue" button below the graph for proceeding to the next step.

**Explanation:**

- **x-intercept:** 
  The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis (i.e., where y = 0). From the graph, the blue line crosses the x-axis at (-2, 0).

- **y-intercept:**
  The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis (i.e., where x = 0). From the graph, the blue line crosses the y-axis at (0, 2).

**Conclusion:**

Identifying intercepts on a graph is a fundamental skill that helps in understanding linear equations and their graphical representations. Ensure to verify each intercept's coordinates by observing where the line crosses the axes.
