*(The Answer)*=
y = (2)/(3) x-2

*(Equation)*= The equation for slope-intercept form is
y=mx+b

*(Additional Information)*= m = slope, and b = y-intercept

Hope this helps

Answer: The correct option is

(C)
y=(2)/(3)x-2.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the equation of a line in slope-intercept form with slope
(2)/(3) and y-intercept at (0, -2).

We know that

the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line with slope m and y -intercept at the point (0, c) is given by


y=mx+c.

For the given line, we have


\textup{slope, }m=(2)/(3),\\\\\\\textup{y-intercept},~(0,c)=(0,-2)\\\\\Rightarrow c=-2.

Therefore, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is


y=mx+c\\\\\Rightarrow y=(2)/(3)x+(-2)\\\\\\\Rightarrow y=(2)/(3)x-2.

Thus, the required equation of the line in slope-intercept form is
y=(2)/(3)x-2.

Option (C) is CORRECT.
