The y-intercept is the Y coordinate when X = 0

replace x with 0 and solve for Y:

y = 3/2(0)-5 = -5

The first point using the Y-intercept would be (0,-5)

Now to find another point replace X with another number other than 0 and solve for Y.

Lets use 2:

y = 3/2(2) - 5

y = 3-5 = -2

The second point would be (2,-2)

Now plot those two points and connect with a line.

See attached picture of how it should look:
