You need to post full instructions on what your teacher wants here.

I'll assume that you want to graph this equation.

Plug in x = 0 and solve for y
3x+2y = -6
3(0)+2y = -6
2y = -6
y = -6/2
y = -3
The point (0,-3) is the y intercept

Plug in y = 0 and solve for x.
3x+2y = -6
3x+2(0) = -6
3x = -6
x = -6/3
x = -2
The point (-2,0) is the x intercept.

Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them

3x + 2y = -6




which is now in the form, y=mx+b, slope-intercept form, so if you want to graph the line, you know what to do.
