To find the y intercept substitute 0 for x
-3(0) + 2y = -6
2y = -6
y = -6/2
y= -3
(0,-3)
The x intercept is the same only substituting 0 for the y
-3x + 2(0) = -6
-3x = -6
x= -6/-3
the negatives cancel each other out making 3/6 which simplifies to 1/2
(.5,0)



You asked for me to graph 4x=6 I do not know how to do a graph on here but I can tell you that that the line crosses the y axis at -6 and the slope is four. I hope that helps.
