1. Answer:

   y=-2/3x-2

   Step-by-step explanation:

   -2/3 is the slope and -2 is the y intercept

   y=mx+b

   m is slope and b is y intercept

2. An x-intercept of 3

   (
   3
   ,

   )
   is a point on the line
   A y-intercept of (-2)
   →
   (

   )
   is a point on the line
   The slope of the line is given by

   The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is
   y
   =
   m
   x
   +
   b

   where
   m
   is the slope and
   b
   is the y-intercept.
   Therefore the equation of this line can be written as
   y
   =
   2
   3
   x
   −
   2
   If you want to “clear” the fraction this could be re-written as

   y
   =
