3x-6y=6
-6y=-3x+6
y=1/2x-1
-----------------
y int=(0,-1)
x int=(2,0)

Y=mX+b
This is the line equation where m=the slope & b=the y intercept.
You find the x intercept by setting y=0 & solving the equaytion for x
3X-6Y=6
-6Y=-3X+6
Y=-3X/-6+6/-6
Y=X/2-1 THIS IS THE LINE EQUATION.
---------------
0=X/2-1
X/2=1 CROSS MULTIPLY.
X=2 (2,0) IS THE X INTERCEPT.
b=(0,-1) IS THE Y INTERCEPT.
THE LINE IS:
