To get the x-intercept, put 0 in for y
To get the y-intercept, put 0 in for x

2y + 3x = -2

For the x-intercept:
2(0) + 3x = -2 {substituted 0 in for y}
3x = -2 {multiplied 2 by 0}
x = -2/3 {divided both sides by 3}
x-intercept is (-2/3,0)

For the y-intercept:
2y + 3(0) = -2 {substituted 0 in for x}
2y = -2 {multiplied 3 by 0}
y = -1 {divided both sides by 2}
y-intercept is (0,-1)
