See below

Explanation:

The +2+2 tells us that the y-intercept is 22.
When you multiply any number by 00, you still get 00.
Therefore, the point {0,2}{0,2} is on this line.
Next, let's choose a value for xx that is simple. I will choose 33.
If x=3x=3, then
-1.5x1.5x becomes -4.54.5 and so
-4.5+2=-2.54.5+2=2.5
therefore the point {3,-2.5} is on this line.
