To find the y intercept, let x = 0....so we have

(2/3)y = 3/5

So y = (3/5)*(3/2) = 9/10

So the y intercept is (0, 9/10)

To find the x intercept, let y = 0......so we have

(-3/4)x = 3/5

So x  = (3/5)*(-4/3) = (-4/5)

And the x intercept is (-4/5, 0)

Now...just plot both points on a graph and draw your line through them.....

That's it.....!!!
