Answer:

(0, 3)

Explanation:

In slope intercept form, the y-intercept is the "b" or, in an example:

y = mx + b

- m is the slope

- b is the y-intercept

In our first equation, the b is 0 (y=-3/2x, there is no +/- b, so it is 0). If we add positive 3 (up 3 units) then the y-intercept will be 3. This, in a point, is shown with (0, 3) because the y-intercept is where the line hits the y-axis when x is 0.

Have a nice day!

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
