The equation formula is y=mx+b. M stands for the slope. B stands for the y-intercept. In the question, it says that your slope is 3/8 and that your y-intercept is -2. Remember, if it says (0, -2), and 0 is your x-coordinate, it means that it is a y-intercept. So, plug in the numbers into the formula and the equation should be: y=3/8x-2
