Answer: y = 6

Explanation:

1. Let y = 0 to find the x-intercept(s).

0=-2 x +6

2. Subtract 6 from both sides.

- 6 = - 2 x

3. Divide both sides by -2.

-6/-2 = x

4. Two negatives make a positive so 6/2 = x

5. Simplify 6/2 to 3.

3 = x

6. Switch sides.

x = 3

2. y-Intercept

1. Let x = 0 to find the y-intercept(s).

y = -2 x 0+6

2. Simplify and get y = 6
