Solve for the y intercept, put the y intercept in for b.
Start at b (0,b) for the first point go up 3 and over 2 for the second point and connect the points.

Explanation:

# y = mx +b#
# y = 0 #
# x = 1 #
# m = 3/2#

# 0 = 3/2 xx 1 + b#

# 0 = 3/2 + b # subtract - 3/2 from both sides

# 0 - 3/2 = 3/2 - 3/2 + b #

# - 3/2 = b #

The first point is ( 0, -3/2)

# - 3/2 + 3 = -3/2 + 6/2 = + 3/2#
# 0 + 2 = 2#

The second point is ( 2, + 3/2)

Plot the two points and connect them with a line.

The equation is

# y = 3/2x + -3/2#
