+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+ is the general point-slope form
+m+=+-2%2F3+
Equation goes through ( 3,0 ) ( the x-intercept )
+y+=+%28-2%2F3%29%2Ax+%2B+b+
Goes through ( 3,0 )
+0+=+%28-2%2F3%29%2A3+%2B+b+
+b+=+%28+2%2F3%29%2A3%0D%0A%7B%7B%7B+b+=+2+
The equation is: +y+=+%28-2%2F3%29%2Ax+%2B+2+
The y-intercept is 2
