A) (-5, 0), (0, 7)
B) (0, -5), (7, 0)
C) (-3, 0), (0, 6)
D) (-5, 0), (0, -7)
E) (-3, 0), (0, -6)

To find the x-intercept, we set y to 0 and solve for x:
$0 = 2x + 6$
$-3 = x$
So the x-intercept is $(-3, 0)$.

To find the y-intercept, we set x to 0 and solve for y:
$y = 2(0) + 6$
$y = 6$
So the y-intercept is $(0,6)$.

Therefore, the answer is (C) which gives both the x and y intercepts as calculated above.
