Answer:

y =
(2)/(3) x - 1
(1)/(3)

Explanation:

The line passes through points (-1,-2) and (2,0)

The slope of the line is;

Slope = change in y ÷ change in x

Slope =
(0--2)/(2--1) =
(2)/(3)

Taking another point (x,y) on the line;

Slope =
(y - 0)/(x-2) =
(2)/(3)

y =
(2)/(3) x -
(4)/(3)

y =
(2)/(3) x - 1
(1)/(3)
