a. 3x-2y+=+6
x-intercept: set y=0 and solve for x
3x-2%2A0+=+6
3x=+6
x+=+6%2F3
x+=+2 ...x-intercept at (2,+0+)
y-intercept: set x=0 and solve for y
3%2A0-2y+=+6
-2y=+6
y+=+6%2F-2
y+=+-3 ...y-intercept at (+0+,+-3+)


b. +y+=+-2x%2B3+
x-intercept: set y=0 and solve for x
0+=+-2x%2B3
2x=+3
x+=+3%2F2 ...x-intercept at (3%2F2,+0+)
y-intercept: set x=0 and solve for y
y+=+-2x%2B3
y=+-2%2A0%2B3
y+=+3 ...y-intercept at (+0+,+3+)
