Answer:

The x intercept: (1.5, 0)

The slope intercept form: y = 2x - 3

The slope: m = 2

Explanation:

x intercept means y=0

4x - 2y = 6

4x - 2·0 = 6

4x = 6

x = 1.5

The slope intercept form is: y = mx + b

4x - 2y = 6 {subtract 4x from both sides}

- 2y = - 4x + 6 {dividing both sides by (-2)}

y = 2x - 3 ← slope intercept form

Slope is the number by x, in slope intercept form of line's equation
