Please see below.

Explanation:

x-intercept is where y=0 i.e. 2x+3×0=3 or 2x=3 and x=1.5 i.e. line passes through (1.5,0).

y-intercept is where x=0 i.e. 2×0+3y=3 or 3y=3 and y=1 i.e. line passes through (0,1).

Now join (1.5,0) and (0,1) to get the line.

graph{(2x+3y-3)((x-1.5)^2+y^2-0.003)(x^2+(y-1)^2-0.003)=0 [-1.917, 3.082, -0.77, 1.73]}

Tip - If intercept on x-axis isa and intercept on y-axis is b, equation of line is xa+yb=1.
