Distribute the 3/2 through the parentheses:
y - 1 = (3/2)x - (3/2)4
y - 1 = (3/2)x - 6
Now add 1 to both sides:
y = (3/2)x - 6 + 1
y = (3/2)x - 5
There you go. Slope = 3/2, y-intercept = -5

Y - 1 = 3/2(x - 4)
Y - 1 = 3/2x -4(3/2) : By Multiplying rule we have to multiply everything inside with 3/2 or 1.5. Add 1 to both sides.
Y = 3/2x - 5 or you can say Y = 1.5x - 5

y = mx +b is the equation to apply even as provide the slope (m) and the y intercept (b). so they instructed you m=2 and b= -4. All you should do is plug those values into y = mx +b to get y=2x-4. common, do not you imagine?

y -1 = 3x/2 - 6
y = 3x/2 -5
