The x-intercept occurs when y=0 so the x-intercept for the equation 3x - 2y = 6 can be determined by evaluating 3x - 2(0) = 6 rarr 3x = 6 rarr x=2

The x-intercept is at (x,y) = (2,0)

Similarly the y-intercept can be determined to occur at (x,y) = (0, -3)

Since 3x - 2y = 6 is an equation representing a straight line,
simply draw a straight line which goes through both (2,0) and (0,-3)
