Explanation:

Note that the line goes through the points
P_1(0, 3) and
P_2(-2, 0) so we can calculate the slope m of the line as follows:


m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) = (0 - 3)/(-2 - 0)= (3)/(2)

which makes our equation take the form


y = (3)/(2)x + b

To find the value of b, use either P1 or P2. Let's use P1:


3 = (3)/(2)(0) + b \Rightarrow b = 3

Therefore, the equation for the line is


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