Answer:

y = -(1/3)x -2

Explanation:

For each horizontal "run" of 3 units, the "rise" of the line is -1 unit. Hence the slope is ...

rise/run = -1/3

The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis, at y = -2. So, the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line is ...

y = (slope)·x + (y-intercept)

y = -1/3x -2
