You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Xintercept = (-3,0)
Yintercept = (0,2)

First find the slope. Can you do that? If not, check out my website!! Send me an Email, and I'll tell you where to look!!

m=+%28RISE%29%2F%28RUN%29+=+%282-0%29%2F%280-%28-3%29%29+=2%2F3

Therefore the equation is y=mx+b, where m = slope and b= yintercept.
y=%282%2F3%29x%2B2+ FINAL ANSWER

For more on this, see my website by clicking on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com. Take the second link on my homepage, which is "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Choose Basic Algebra, and look for Chapter 4. The first three sections explain graphing and slope of a line. The slope of a line is in Section 4.02. The equation of a line is in Section 4.06.
