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

Explanation:

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

-3x+2y=63x+2y=6
-3x+2*0=63x+20=6
-3x+0=63x+0=6
-3x=63x=6
x=6/-3x=63
x=-2x=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)
