\huge\boxed{y=(3)/(2)x-1}

Start with the slope-intercept formula.


y=mx+b

In this formula,
m is the slope and
b is the y-intercept.

Substitute in the slope.


y=(3)/(2)x+b

Substitute in the y-intercept.


y=(3)/(2)x+(-1)

Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting the absolute value of that same number.


y=(3)/(2)x-|-1|

Find the absolute value.
