Start with the slope-intercept form of the equation for a line:
y+=+mx%2Bb Substitute m+=+3%2F2
y+=+%283%2F2%29x%2Bb...now to find b, just substitute the values of the x- and y-coordinates of the given point, (0, 2) and solve for b.
2+=+%283%2F2%29%280%29%2Bb so that...
b+=+2 and finally, the equation you want is:
highlight%28y+=+%283%2F2%29x%2B2%29
