Answer

y= 3/2 x - 2

Explanation:

so you have to find the slope which would be

m =

y2 - y1

x2 - x1

then you find you points that you are using (2, 1) and (0, -2)

when you plug it in it is

m=

-2-1

0-2

you simplify the numbers and get rid of the negatives to get m=3/2 x

then your y intercept is where your line meets the y axis or wherever x=0

so your y intercept is (0, -2) so the b = -2
