What does a slope of -3/2 mean?
It means "when x increases by 2, y decreases by 3"
Also if x decreases by 2, y will increase by 3.
--------------------------------------------
Starting at the point (4,3)
Decrease x by 2; then y will increase by 3 to get (2,6)
Decrease x by 2 again; then y will increase by 3 to get (0,9)
