#(0, -3/2)#
The y-intercept is #-3/2#

Let's put the equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)

#y=3/4x+b rarr# We are trying to find the y-intercept

Let's plug in the point (2, 0) to find the y-intercept

#0=3/4*2+b#

#0=3/2+b#

#b=-3/2 rarr# This is the y-intercept
