The equation is .

First find the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is the value of y, when x = 0.

                                       (Substitute x = 0 in original equation)

                                                 (Multiply: )

                                                       (Apply Additive identity property: a + 0 = a)

The y-intercept is 4, so the graph intersects the y-axis at (0, 4).

Next find the x-intercept.

The x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0.

                                           (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)

                                                 (Apply Additive identity property: a + 0 = a)

                                        (Divide each side by 1.5)

                                                (Cancel common terms)

                                             (Divide: )

The x-intercept is 2.667, so the graph intersects the x-axis at ( 2.6, 0).

Graph Using Intercepts:
