    The equation of a line is y = mx + b. The variable m is the slope, so m = 2/3, giving you the equation y = (2/3) x + b. To find b (the y-intercept), plug in the given x and y values. So, it'll look like this: (-3) = (2/3) (7) + b. Finally, solve algebraically for b:

    Multiply 2/3 by 7.

    -3 = 14/3 + b

    Subtract 14/3 from both sides.

    -23/3 = b

    The final equation is y = (2/3) x - 23/3.
