Answer:

y=2/3x - 6

Explanation:

use the formula y=mx+b. the m of this equation is equal to the slope and you know that the slope is 2/3. the b of the equation is equal to the y-intercept so, to find b you simply look at the points given. the points are written in (x,y) form so if -14 is x, -6 must be y. remember to KEEP CHANGE CHANGE your signs so that plus sign becomes negative 6. Hope this helps!
