Fill in the Blank

A construction foreman is verifying the alignment of two parallel support beams modeled by the equations 3x2y=63x - 2y = 6 and y = rac{3}{2}x + 1. After converting the first equation to slope-intercept form (y = rac{3}{2}x - 3), the foreman confirms the beams are parallel because they share a slope of 32\frac{3}{2} but have different yy-intercepts. The foreman identifies the yy-intercept of the first beam as 3-3 and the yy-intercept of the second beam as ____.
