Answer: y= -3/2x -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the question does not specify, we can answer in slope intercept form which is y=mx+b

use the slope and coord. points to find b

slope: -3/2, point: (-6, 2), -6 is your x coord, and 2 is your y coord.

2= -3/2(-6) + b

2= 18/2 + b Note: negative times a negative makes a positive.

2= 9+b subtract 9 from both sides to get b alone.

-9  -9

b=-7 now that we have b, the equation of the line would be

y= -3/2x -7
