Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

the equation of the line can be found using the slope intercept form

y = mx +b

y= -3/2 x + 3

x intercept is found by setting y=0 bc that will give you the x-value at which the line crosses the x -axis so

0 = -3/2x+3 (subtract the 3 on both sides) would cancel out the + 3 and would

-3 = -3/2 x (divide by -3/2 on both sides to cancel out the -3/2)

x = 2
