Sure, I can help you with that! The equation Y=3/2x-5 is in slope-intercept form, which means that the slope is 3/2 and the initial value is -5. To graph the line, you can start by plotting the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. In this case, the y-intercept is -5, so you can plot the point (0,-5). Next, you can use the slope to find another point on the line. The slope tells you how much the y-coordinate changes for a given change in the x-coordinate. In this case, the slope is 3/2, which means that for every 2 units you move to the right (run), you need to move up 3 units (rise). So starting from the y-intercept, you can move
