You can put this solution on YOUR website!

y intercept is (0,6)
x intercept is (3,0)
plot those 2 points and you will get what is pictured here

y=6-2x
Via Point-Slope Intercept form;---->y=mx%2Bb
where----->system%28m=Slope%2Cx=XIntercept%2Cb=YIntercept%29
Then, fromt he given:
m=-2,highlight%28b=6%29
when f%28y%29=0:
2x=6----------> cross%282%29x%2Fcross%282%29=cross%286%293%2Fcross%282%29
highlight%28x=3%29, x-intercept
We look the graph thru points (3,6):
----> "green" points=m=Slope
Thank you,
