Answer:

The x-intercept is (2, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

First write the equation of this line:  y = (-3/2)x + 3.

At the x-intercept, y = 0.  So, we set the above equation equal to 0 and solve for the x-intercept:

0 = (-3/2)x + 3, or

(3/2)x = 3, or x/2 = 1.  Thus, x = 2.

The x-intercept is (2, 0).
