Answer:

  y = 2/3x -25/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation for a line is ...

  y = mx +b . . . . . . for slope m and y-intercept b

Solving for b gives ...

  b = y -mx

Using the given values for x, y, and m, we find the intercept to be ...

  b = -3 -2/3(8) = (-9 -16)/3 = -25/3

Then the equation of the line is ...

  y = 2/3x -25/3
