Answer:
x-intercept= -3
y-intercept= -2
m(slope)= (-2/3)
equation= y=(-2/3)x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
x-intercept: where the line hits the x-axis
y-intercept: where the line hits the y-axis
m(slope)= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
using the intercepts, (0,-2) and (-3,0)
(-2-0)/(0-(-3))
-2/(0+3)
-2/3
equation:
y=mx+b
we don't know b so to solve for it we can use any point as "x" and "y" but I am going to use (0,-2)
y= -2
m(slope) = -2/3
x= 0
b=?
-2=(-2/3)*0 +b
-2= 0+b
-2=b
so y=(-2/3)x -2
