The line y = 3/2x - 1/2 using intercepts (1/3, 0) and (0, -1/2) is graphed and attached

Graphing the line using intercepts

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

y = 3/2x - 1/2

Set x = 0 to calculate the y-intercept

So, we have

y = 3/2(0) - 1/2

y = -1/2

This gives

y = -1/2

So, the y-intercept is (0, -1/2)

Set y = 0 to calculate the x-intercept

So, we have

0 = 3/2x - 1/2

3/2x = 1/2

This gives

x = 1/3

So, the x-intercept is (1/3, 0)

The line using intercepts is graphed and attached
