Slope is #2#, y-intercept is #-3#, x-intercept is #3/2#.

Explanation:

Linear equations of form #y=mx+c# implies that the slope is #m# and the Y-intercept is #c#.

So here the slope is #2# and the y-intercept is #-3#.

The x-intercept may be found by letting #y=0# and solving for x.
But #2x-3=0iffx=3/2#.

The graph verifies the results calculated.
