First thing is to find the coordinates for the two points

(-3,-2) and ( 0,2)

Then we can use the slope formula to determine the slope

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

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

= ( 2+2) / (0+3)

= 4/3

The slope is 4/3

You can also count how many you go up and then how many you go over to get from the left point to the right point.

We go up 4 and then right 3

4/3

The y intercept is where it crosses the y axis.

It crosses at y =2

The slope intercept form of the equation is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 4/3x +2
