see a step solution process below;

Explanation:

$y = - 2 x + 3$ $y = - 2x + 3$

Since the origin point of intersection is always zero, hence we would use its origin point to locate their intercepts.

To find the intercept of $x$ $x$ , let $y = 0$ $y = 0$

$y = - 2 x + 3$ $y = -2x + 3$ , where $y = 0$ $y = 0$

$0 = - 2 x + 3$ $0 = -2x + 3$

$2 x = 3$ $2x = 3$

$x = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5$ $x = 3/2 = 1.5$

Similarly, to find the intercept of $y$ $y$ , let $x = 0$ $x = 0$

$y = - 2 x + 3$ $y = -2x + 3$ , where $x = 0$ $x = 0$

$y = - 2 (0) + 3$ $y = -2(0) + 3$

$y = 0 + 3$ $y = 0 + 3$

$y = 3$ $y = 3$

Hence the $x and y$ $x and y$ intercepts of the equation are $1.5 and 3$ $1.5 and 3$ respectively..

$x-intercept = \frac{3}{2}, y-intercept = 3$ $"x-intercept "=3/2," y-intercept "=3$

Explanation:

$to find the intercepts$ $"to find the intercepts"$

$∙ let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept$ $• " let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"$

$∙ let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept$ $• " let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept"$

$x = 0 \Rightarrow y = 0 + 3 = 3 \leftarrow y-intercept$ $x=0rArry=0+3=3larrcolor(red)"y-intercept"$

$y = 0 \Rightarrow - 2 x + 3 = 0 \Rightarrow x = \frac{3}{2} \leftarrow x-intercept$ $y=0rArr-2x+3=0rArrx=3/2larrcolor(red)"x-intercept"$
