Slope is $2$ $2$ , y-intercept is $- 3$ $-3$ , x-intercept is $\frac{3}{2}$ $3/2$ .

Linear equations of form $y = m x + c$ $y=mx+c$ implies that the slope is $m$ $m$ and the Y-intercept is $c$ $c$ .

So here the slope is $2$ $2$ and the y-intercept is $- 3$ $-3$ .

The x-intercept may be found by letting $y = 0$ $y=0$ and solving for x.
But $2 x - 3 = 0 \Leftrightarrow x = \frac{3}{2}$ $2x-3=0iffx=3/2$ .

The graph verifies the results calculated.
