When doing slope I suggest using slope triangles:) make a dot at -3, then go to the right 3 spaces, from this point go up 2 spaces and make another dot. Do that for as long as you need your line to be:) When you go up 2 spaces use that last dot and go over 3 spaces and up 2. Keep repeating

Explanation:

For every 3 blocks across, the line graph goes up by 2 blocks. Therefore the slope of the line is 2/3.

The line also intercepts the y-axis at -3.

Hence the slope-intercept form is y = 2/3 x - 3.
