the x-intercept is at: $(-2,0)$ , the y-intercept is at: #(0,3)

To find the x-intercept set y to zero then solve for x:

$-3x+2y=6$
$-3x+2*0=6$
$-3x+0=6$
$-3x=6$
$x=6/-3$
$x=-2$
$:.$ the x-intercept is at: $(-2,0)$

To find the y-intercept st x to zero then solve for y:

$-3x+2y=6$
$-3*0+2y=6$
$0+2y=6$
$2y=6$
$y=6/2$
$y=3$
$:.$ the y-intercept is at: #(0,3)

What are the intercepts of -3x+2y=6-3x+2y=6?
