You are to take the 2 intercepts given and write a linear equation for y as a function of x.
If the x- and y-intercepts are (-2,0) and (0,3) respectively, the slope of this
3 - 0 3
line is m = ------------ = -----
0 - (-2) 2
To obtain the equation in slope-intercept form,
start with y = mx + b. We have just found that m = 3/2, and the problem statement has already told us that the y-intercept is (0,3).
Thus, the desired equation is y = (3/2)x + 3.
