#y#-intercept#=-6#

#x#-intercept#=-2#

This equation is in slope-intercept form, where the coefficient of #x# is the slope and the constant is the #y#-intercept.

Therefore,

slope#=-3#

#y#-intercept#=-6#

To find #x#-intercept, substitute #y=0#

#-3x-6=0#

#3x=-6#

#x=-2#

Hence,

#x#-intercept#=-2#
