See below

Explanation:

The +2 tells us that the y-intercept is 2.
When you multiply any number by 0, you still get 0.
Therefore, the point {0,2} is on this line.
Next, let's choose a value for x that is simple. I will choose 3.
If x=3, then
-1.5x becomes -4.5 and so
-4.5+2=-2.5
therefore the point {3,-2.5} is on this line.
