Since x=0 and y=0 is one solution, the origin or the point (0,0) is on the line and the slope is 1.5.

y+=+1.5x...since you have x%5E1, this is linear function and the graph will be a line
to graph a line on Cartesian coordinate system, you need two points
set y=0 and find x-intercept
0=+1.5x...->...0+=+x... x-intercept is at (0),%280%29%29
as you can see y-intercept is also at (0),%280%29%29; so, we need one more point
let x=1, then y=+1.5%2A1=1.5...point is at (1),%281.5%29%29
plot these points and draw a line through them:
