The equation of the line is

y = -3/2 x

How to find the equation

The equation is solved to be in the slope intercept form

y = mx + b

Where

m = slope

b = y-intercept (the value of y when x is zero)

Using points from the graph (2, -3) and (0, 0)

slope = change in y / change in x

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

slope, m = -3/2

The graph passed through the origin (0, 0), hence b = 0

y = mx + b

y = -3/2 x
