Start with the given equation

Convert 1.5 to

Looking at we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is note: really looks like

Since this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point

Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means

Also, because the slope is , this means:

which shows us that the rise is 3 and the run is 2. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 3 and over 2

So starting at , go up 3 units

and to the right 2 units to get to the next point

Now draw a line through these points to graph

So this is the graph of through the points and

graph y=1.5x
-----------------------------
y = (3/2)x
Plot two points:
If x = 0, y = 0
If x = 2, y = 3
-----------------
Plot the points: (0,0) and (2,3)
and draw a line thru them.
------------------------------
