x-intercept is -3, (-3, 0)
y-intercept is -2, (0, -2)
The line passes through these two points, (-3, 0) and (0, -2). Then the slope will be: m = (-2 - 0)/[0 - (-3)] = -2/3
Let's use one of the point; (-3, 0)
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 0 = (-2/3)[x - (-3)]
y = (-2/3)x -2 This is the equation of the line. (This is the slope intercept form)
Or use the intercept form: x/a + y/b + 1, where a is x-intercept, and b is y-intercept. So,
x/-3 + y/-2 = 1
(x/-3)(-6) + (y/2)(-6) = -6
2x + 3y = -6, which is the general form of the equation for the line.
