(x1, y1)= (-3,0)
Slope = m = -2
Slope = (x2 - x1)/ (y2 - y1)
Given Slope = -2
Then (x2 - x1)/ (y2 - y1)= -2
(x2 - (-3)) / (y2 - 0) = -2
x2 + 3 = -2 (y2 +0) ( By taking denominator to other side)
x2 + 3 = -2y2
By making into order, x+2y+3 = 0

Y=mX+b
0=-2*-3+b
0=6+b
b=-6 ANSWER FOR THE Y INTERCEPT.
Y=-2X-6 ANSWER FOR THE LINE THROUGH (-3,0) WITH A SLOPE=-2
