Answer:

y=(-4/3)x+2

Explanation:

we have two points (3,-2) and (0,2) given from the statement

the equation of the lines is:

y=mx+b

m=slope

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(2-(-2))/(0-3)

so we have the slope is

m=4/-3 =-4/3 =-1.3333

we need to find "b"

using the point (0,2)

we have :

2=m*0+b

2=b

finally we have

the answer is y=(-4/3)x+2
