Answer:

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

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m =
(2)/(3), thus

y =
(2)/(3) x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 3, 1) into the partial equation

1 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = 1 + 2 = 3

y =
(2)/(3) x + 3 ← equation of line
