Answer

(a) $y=3$ (b) $y=-10$

Work Step by Step

(a) As $0\leq0$, we use the first equation $y=\frac{3}{2}x+3$. Substituting $0$ for $x$, we have $y=\frac{3}{2}(0)+3$. Simplifying, we obtain $y=3$. (b) As $5\gt0$, we use the second equation $y=-2x$. Substituting $5$ for $x$,we have $y=-2(5)$. Simplifying, we get $y=-10$.
