To find the x intercept of the equation make y=0 and solve for x.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8x+y=12 \\ 8x=12 \\ x=\frac{12}{8} \\ x=\frac{6}{4} \\ x=\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]The x intercept is 3/2
To find the y intercept, make x=0 and solve for y
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8x+y=12 \\ 8(0)+y=12 \\ y\text{=}12 \end{gathered}[/tex]The y intercept is 12.
