Because the equation is already in slope intercept form (y = mx + b), you can read the y-intercept directly from the b position, and use the slope to determine the x-intercept. A slope of 3/2 means that the line corresponding to this equation will rise 3 for every 2 that it
runs. You don't need to determine the exact x-intercept to see that it is positive, and so greater than -2 .
B is the answer
