The given equation is

y = - 3x + 6

We would find the x and y intercepts.

The x intercept is the value of x when y = 0. Substituting y = 0 into the equation, we have

0 = - 3x + 6

Adding 3x to both sides of the equation, we have

0 + 3x = - 3x + 3x + 6

3x = 6

x = 6/3 = 2

x intercept = (2, 0)

The y intercept is the value of y when x = 0. Substituting x = 0 into the equation, we have

y = - 3(0) + 6

y = 0 + 6

y = 6

y = intercept = (0, 6)

The graph is plotted as shown below with the intercepts
