The x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis and every point on the x-axis has a y-value of 0.

So put in 0 for y:  0 = 8 - 6x       --->   add 6x to both sides:  6x = 8     --->  divide by 6:  x = 1 1/3 

x-intercept = ( 1 1/3, 0)

The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis and every point on the y-axis has an x-value of 0.

So put in 0 for x:  y = 8 - 6(0)  --->  y = 8  --->  y-intercept = (0, 8)

Plot those two points and use them to draw your line.
