Question

A coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x-axis ranging from negative 7 to 4 in increments of 1, and the y-axis ranging from negative 9 to 8 in increments of 1. An upward line with arrows at both the ends is shown on the plane. The line passes through the first, second, and third quadrants. The line intersects the x-axis at left parenthesis negative 1.5 comma 0 right parenthesis and the y-axis at left parenthesis 0 comma 3 right parenthesis.

1. The line passes through the points (-1.5, 0) and (0, 3).
2. The line passes through the first, second, and third quadrants.
3. The x-axis ranges from -7 to 4 in increments of 1.
4. The y-axis ranges from -9 to 8 in increments of 1.
