Plug in x = 0 to get

y = 1.5x - 3

y = 1.5*0 - 3

y = 0 - 3

y = -3

So the point (0,-3) is on the line

-------------------------------------------------------

Plug in x = 2 to get

y = 1.5x - 3

y = 1.5*2 - 3

y = 3 - 3

y = 0

So the point (2,0) is on the line

-------------------------------------------------------
y = 1.5x - 3

We know the points (0,-3) and (2,0) are on the line. Plot these two points. Then draw a straight line through them to finish the graph (see graph below)
