The slope of the line can be defined as y = mx + b, where m is the slope
To find the slope, one will need to use the expression Δy/Δx (y final - y initial)/(x final - x initial)
For this problem, that equals 1/3

Now we will use the point slope form
(y - y initial) = m (x - x initial):

y + 1 = 1/3 (x - 2)

y = 1/3x - 5/3
