  1. you know it must look like:

    y = mx + b
    given: m = -3/2, so

    y = (-3/2)x + b
    but (3,-2) lies on it, so
    -2 = (-3/2)(3) + b
    -2 + 9/2 = b
    b = 5/2

    y = (-3/2)x + 5/2

  2. or, just start with what you are given: a point and a slope. Ding ding - use the point-slope form of the line:

    y+2 = -3/2 (x-3)

    now just rearrange stuff, and you will get Reiny's equation.
