    x-intercept: 4 y-intercept: - 6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find the y-intercept, we must first solve for y.

    Isolate variable y on the left side of the equation by subtracting 3x from both sides.

    - 2y = - 3x + 12

    Now divide both sides by - 2 to find y.

    y = 3/2x - 6

    The y-intercept is - 6. (remember formula y = mx + b, where b is the y-intercept)

    To find the x-intercept, we must solve for x.

    Isolate variable x on the left side of the equation by adding 2y to both sides.

    3x = 2y + 12

    Now divide both sides by 3 to find x.

    x = 2/3y + 4

    The x-intercept is 4. (remember formula x = my + b, where b is the x-intercept)

    4 and - 6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3x-2y=12

    x = 0 ⇒ - 2y=12 ⇒ y = - 6 y=0 ⇒ 3x = 12 ⇒ x = 4
