You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Y=mX+b
(-3,0)(0,2)
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope=(2-0)/(0+3)
slope=2/3
Now replace the x & y values by one set of points & solve for the y intercept (b)
0=2/3*-3+b
0=-6/3+b
B=-2 thus the equation for this line is:
Y=2X/3-2 answer.

First plot the y-intercept 2, which is the point (0,2)




Now plot the x-intercept -3, which is the point (-3,0)




Now connect the two points with a straight line to draw the graph
