Answer:

(The X intercept is 3) and (the Y intercept is -2)

Explanation:

find x intercept by substituting y=0

2x-3×0=6

any expression multiplied by 0 equals 0

2x-0=6

when adding or subtracting 0, the quantity never changes

2x=6

divide both sides of the equation by 2

x=3

find Y intercept by substituting x = 0

2×0-3y=6

solve the equation for y

y=-2

( I hope this helps you! Have a wonderful day everyone!)

You can find the x-intercept by substituting y as 0 so then it would be 2x=6 ( i think) the you would divide so the x intercept is 3. For the y intercept you would do the same thing but substitute x as 0 and divide by -3. Hoped this helped!
