slope $=-3$

$y$ -intercept $=-6$

$x$ -intercept $=-2$

This equation is in slope-intercept form, where the coefficient of $x$ is the slope and the constant is the $y$ -intercept.

Therefore,

slope $=-3$

$y$ -intercept $=-6$

To find $x$ -intercept, substitute $y=0$

$-3x-6=0$

$3x=-6$

$x=-2$

Hence,

$x$ -intercept $=-2$
