Answer

$3x+2y+2=0$ Refer to the graph below.

Work Step by Step

Using $ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) $ or the Point-Slope Form, with $m=-\dfrac{3}{2}$ and passing through the point $(0,-1),$ then \begin{align*} y-(-1)&=-\dfrac{3}{2}(x-0) \\\\ y+1&=-\dfrac{3}{2}x \\\\ 2(y+1)&=\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}x\right)2 \\\\ 2(y)+2(1)&=-3x(1) \\ 2y+2&=-3x \\ 3x+2y+2&=0 .\end{align*} To graph the line, interpret the slope, $m,$ as $m=\dfrac{rise}{run}.$ With $m=-\dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{-3}{2},$ then $rise=-3$ and $run=2.$ Starting at the given point $(0,-1),$ move $3$ units down (since $rise$ is negative) and then move $2$ units to the right. This gives the point $(2,-4)$. Connecting these points gives the graph of the line (see above).
