Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. We already have the slope, so our equation so far is y=3/2x+b. We just need to find the b for it to be complete.

To do this, we plug in a point on the line and solve for b. We have a point (-3,-4), so let's use it and solve.

-4=3/2(-3)+b

Undo parentheses.

-4=-9/2+b

Add 9/2 to both sides

b=1/2

Therefore, our equation is y=3/2x+1/2.

Have a wonderful day! :D
