$(0, -3/2)$
The y-intercept is $-3/2$

Let's put the equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)

$y=3/4x+b rarr$ We are trying to find the y-intercept

Let's plug in the point (2, 0) to find the y-intercept

$0=3/4*2+b$

$0=3/2+b$

$b=-3/2 rarr$ This is the y-intercept
