Answer:

y = (2/3)x -1

Explanation:

The line crosses the y-axis at -1, so that is the y-intercept.

From that point. the next grid intersection is 3 units to the right and 2 units up, so the slope is ...

m = rise/run = 2/3

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is ...

y = mx +b . . . . . where m is the slope (2/3) and b is the y-intercept (-1)

Your line has equation ...

y = (2/3)x -1
