Answer:

positive 3

Explanation:

Steps:

1. first you must get y by itself/isolate it to one side of the equation to get it in the format of y = mx + b

-3x + 2y = 6

+3x +3x add 3x to both sides to get 2y by itself
____________

2y = 3x + 6 -3x+3x cancels out and becomes 0

-------------------------
2 divides both sides by 2 to get y by itself

y = (3/2)x + 3

2. Looking at the equation, we know that 3 is the y-intercept because the "b" in the slope-intercept equation is always the y-intercept.
