Answer

The two coordinates on the line include

(0, -1.5) and (-4.5, 0)

The graph of the line is presented below

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to plot the grap of the given equation of a straight line.

To do that, we will obtainthe coordinates of two points on the line.

These two points will preferrably be the intercepts of the line.

y = (-x/3) - (3/2)

when x = 0

y = 0 - (3/2)

y = -(3/2)

y = -1.5

First coordinate and first point on the line is (0, -1.5)

when y = 0

0 = (-x/3) - (3/2)

(x/3) = -(3/2)

x = (-3) (3/2)

x = -(9/2)

x = -4.5

Second coordinate and second point on the line is thus (-4.5, 0)

So, to plot the line, we just mark these two points and connect them to each other.

The graph of this line is presented under 'Answer' above.

Hope this Helps!!!
