#x_("intercept")=3/2#

#y_("intercept") = 3#

Explanation:

Assumption: you meant #y=3-2x#

Write as #y=-2xcolor(red)(+3)#

#y_("intercept") =color(red)( +3)#
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

x-intercept is at #y=0# so by substitution we have:

#y=0=-2x+3#

Add #2x# to both sides

#2x=3#

divide both sides by 2

#x_("intercept")=3/2#
