Answer:

The answer to your question is 1

Explanation:

Data

slope = m = -3

y-intercept = 3

Process

1.- Find the equation of the line in the slope-y-intercept form

y = mx + b

-Substitution

y = -3x + 3

2.- Find the x intercept

-If y = 0

0 = -3x + 3

-3 = -3x

-3/-3 = x

x = 1

-The x-intercept is 1
