What is the x-intercept of the line y = 2x + 3?

The correct answer is: 1

The x-intercept of a line is where the line crosses the x-axis. In order to find this, we need to set y = 0. By doing so, we are left with the equation 0 = 2x + 3. In order to solve for x, we subtract 3 from both sides, giving us -3 = 2x. Finally, we divide both sides by 2, giving us x = -3/2 or -1.5. Therefore, the x-intercept of the line y = 2x + 3 is -1.5. None of the other options are correct because they do not represent the value of -1.5 as the x-intercept. A is incorrect because 0 does not cancel out the 3 in the equation, leaving us with 0 =/= 2x. C is incorrect because
