Calculus will seem easy if you have the right tutor!
For the table of values, choose x = -4, -2, 0*, 2 and 4; calculate the y values that correspond.
* when you set x = 0, you get, of course, y = -3, which is the yintercept.
When you set y = 0, you see that (3/2)x = 3 so x = (2/3)(3); this gives x = 2 as the x intercept.
For graphing purposes, it is sufficient to use just the x and y intercepts(always true unless b=0).
To get the standard equation, multiply by 2 throughout, getting 2y = 3x - 6 and then finally 3x - 26 = 6.

The word CORRESPOND is used in the ordinary sense of mathematical functions, i.e. f(x) = y tells us how to input an x into the formula for a function,
obtaining the y value that goes with it--this idea is that (x, f(x)) is an ordered pair of x & y coordinates corresponding to one point on the graph of the function.
The output, y, corresponds to the input, x. You could also say that the y outputs are associated with their individual inputs.
The Table Of Values
equation is y = y =3/2x - 3; the resulting table that I suggested computing is
-4 -9
-2 -6
0 -3
2 0
4 3
(1st column is x values, 2nd column is corresponding y values for those x values)
Clearer than this I cannot get.
