The given equation is expressed as

y = - 2x + 6

The x intercept of a line is the point at which y = 0

By applying this concept, it means that

0 = - 2x + 6

Adding 2x to both sides of the equation, it becomes

0 + 2x = - 2x + 2x + 6

2x = 6

Dividing both sides by 2, it becomes

2x/2 = 6/2

x = 3

Therefore, the correct option is (3, 0)
