Given: 3x + 2y =-6

Following Slope-Intercept Form, y=mx+b

2y=-6-3x
cross%282%29y%2Fcross%282%29=%28-6-3x%29%2F2=%28-6%2F2%29-%283%2F2%29x
red%28y=%28-3%2F2%29x-3%29

Let fy=0 ( based on the given eqn)
3x%2B2%280%29=-6
cross%283%29x%2Fcross%283%29=cross%28-6%292%2Fcross%283%29
red%28x=-2%29, X-intercept

Let fx=0
y=%28-3%2F2%29%280%29-3=red%28-3%29, Y-intercept

Let's see below
