Given equation is
4x-3y=6
we can rewrite it as
\frac{4x}{6}-\frac{3y}{6} = 1
\frac{x}{\frac{3}{2}}-\frac{y}{2} = 1                         -(i)
Now, we know that the intercept form of line is
\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b} = 1                         -(ii)
Where a and b are intercepts on x and y axis respectively
On comparing equation (i) and (ii)
we will get
a = \frac{3}{2} and b = -2
Therefore,  intercepts on x and y axis  are \frac{3}{2} and -2 respectively
