Answer:

x-intercept: (6, 0) y-intercept: (0, 3)

Explanation:

The x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0.

So, to find this intercept, let's make y = 0.

0 = -1/2x + 3

Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate x: -3 = -1/2x

Divide both sides by -1/2 to isolate x: 6 = x

The x-intercept is (6, 0).

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0.

So, to find this intercept, let's make x = 0.

y = -1/2(0) + 3

y = 0 + 3

y = 3

The y-intercept is (0, 3)
