The line contains the point (-2,0), which is the x-intercept.
==> 0+=+%283%2F4%29%2A%28-2%29+%2B+b
==> 0+=+-3%2F2+%2B+b ==> b = 3/2
==> the equation of the line is y+=+%283%2F4%29x+%2B+3%2F2

For the line represented by the equation y = mx + b, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. So plug in 3/4 for m and -2 for b. The equation is y = 3/4 * x + (-2), or y = 3/4 * x - 2.
