one rather trivial way to determine intercepts in a line equation is to divide it all by that constant.

2x - 3y = 6  ; /6

2x      -3y      6  
--- + --- = ---  ; and simplify
 6        6        6


x      -y        
-- + --- =1 ; and if theres a negative place it on the bottom
3        2             for easy pickings

$$\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{-2}=1$$
now the intercepts can be read by the bottom numbers

y=mx+b form yields $$2x-6=3y$$ --> $$y=2/3*x-2$$ y-intercept is the value of the equation when x=0, therefore you are right
