find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the graph of the equation
3y=-6x+3
---------
To get the x-intercept, let y = 0 and solve for "x":
0 = -6x+3
x = 1/2 is the x-intercept
------------------------
To get the y-intercept, let x = 0 and solve for "y":
3y = 3
y = 1 is the y-intercept.

Not quite. You have the right idea substituting 0 for x and y, but you are not completely solving the resulting equations:

3%280%29=-6x%2B3
-6x%2B3=0
-6x=-3
x=%28-3%29%2F%28-6%29=1%2F2

3y=-6%280%29%2B3
3y=3
y=1

So the x-intercept is (1%2F2,0) and the y-intercept is (0,1)

See graph below for a picture of the situation:
