Answer:

y=-2

Explanation:

Hello : let A(-3,-4) B(6,2)

the slope is : (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)

(2+4)/(6+3) = 6/9 = 2/3

an equation is the line is : y = ax+b a is a slope

y = (2/3)x+b

but this line passes by (6;2)

so : 2 = (2/3)(6)+b

b = -2

the equation is : y = (2/3)x-2

the the Y intercept of this line when : x= 0 so : y = (2/3)(0)-2

y=-2
