Answer:

y = (2/3)x + 4

Explanation:

The equation for a line in slope-intercept form is given by:

y = m x + c

Here,

y and x → coordinates of a point on the line.

m → slope of the line.

c → y-intercept

  • In this case, you are given the point (-3, 2) through which the line passes, and the slope is 2/3.
  • You can plug these values into the equation to solve for c.

2 = (2/3)(-3) + c

Now, calculate the value of c.

2 = (-2) + c

Add 2 to both sides to isolate c.

c = 2 + 2

c = 4

So, the equation of the line passing through the point (-3, 2) with a slope of 2/3 is:

y = (2/3)x + 4
