Graph the equation and identify the y intercept

y=+3x%2F2+%2B+2

The y intercept is?

Step 1. The y-intercept occurs when x=0. Substitute x=0 in above equation

y=+3x%2F2%2B+2

y=+3%2F2%2A0+%2B+2

y=2

Step 2. The y-intercept is 2. Note the slope m = 3%2F2

Step 3. The graph of this line follows:

graph%28300%2C300%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C+5%2C+3x%2F2%2B2%29

I hope the above steps were useful.
