Slope is $2$ , y-intercept is $-3$ , x-intercept is $3/2$ .

Linear equations of form $y=mx+c$ implies that the slope is $m$ and the Y-intercept is $c$ .

So here the slope is $2$ and the y-intercept is $-3$ .

The x-intercept may be found by letting $y=0$ and solving for x.
But $2x-3=0iffx=3/2$ .

The graph verifies the results calculated.
graph{2x-3 [-13.17, 18.88, -8.67, 7.35]}
