How do you plot y'=3+2y on a TI-Nspire CX CAS?

In summary, the conversation discusses the difficulty in plotting an ODE without x appearing in the equation. The speaker shares their confusion about why their calculator can plot a more complex equation but not a simpler one without x. They also mention being able to get the slope field with an equation containing x. After some trial and error, the speaker discovers that using y1 instead of y solves the issue.

Hi, I'm new here. I did some research plotting the ODE of y'=3+2y without having x shows up in the equation. I can't figure it out, why the calculator does plot a harder equation but not a simple one? I can get the slope field with an equation that has an x in it. However, without x, my calculator just gives me nothing (without an initial condition setup), or a single dot (with the setup.)
So, does anyone know what to do in order to get it work?

TIA

Figured out myself, you have to use y1 instead of y, because y1 is the default function. Kind of a silly mistake...
