Answer

(a) refer to the attached image below. (b) $y=\frac{3}{2}x+4$

Work Step by Step

(a) To sketch the line, do the following steps: 1. Plot (-2, 1). 2. Since the slope of the line is $\frac{3}{2}$, from the point (-2, 1), move up 3 units then move 2 units to the right to end at (0, 4). (refer to the attached image) 3. Connect the points to complete the graph of the line. (b) The line has a slope of $\frac{3}{2}$ and has a y-intercept of 4. Thus, the equation of the line is $y=\frac{3}{2}x+4$.
