Answer:

  b = -15/2

  y = -3x -15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the y-intercept can be found from a point and the slope of the line by solving the slope-intercept equation for the intercept.

__

intercept

  y = mx + b . . . . . . . equation of a line with slope m and y-intercept b

  y -mx = b . . . . . . . . subtract mx from both sides

For the point (x, y) = (-2, -3/2) and slope m = -3, the value of b is ...

  b = -3/2 -(-3)(-2) = -3/2 -6

  b = -15/2 . . . . . the value of b for this line

__

equation of the line

Then the equation for the line is ...

  y = mx +b

  y = -3x -15/2
