The slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept → (0, b)

We have two points:

(-3, -2) and (0, 2) → b = 2

The formula of a slope:

m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Substitute:

m=(2-(-2))/(0-(-3))=(4)/(3)

Answer:

$\boxed{Slope:\ (4)/(3)}$

$\boxed{y-intercept:\ 2}$

$\boxed{Equation:\ y=(4)/(3)x+2}$
