Answer:

The equation would be y = -3/2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of the line, we first need to find the slope. TO do so, we use the slope formula and the two points: (-2, 0) and (0, -3)

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

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

m = -3/2

Now that we have this, we use that and the y-intercept in slope intercept form to model the equation.

y = mx + b

y = -3/2x - 3
