x-intercept is when y = to 0. So first, turn this equation into a regular y = mx + b equation. (IN other words, get 'y' by itself on one side!)

-2x+1/2y=18
+2x             +2x

1/2y = 2x + 18
divide by 1/2  on both sides

y = x + 9

So now. set y to equal 0 so:

0 = x + 9

Now solve for x. 

0 = x + 9
- 9     - 9

-9 = x

So when 'y' is 0, then x is -9. That means, the x-intercept is -9. The answer is (-9,0)

Make sense?
