$2x + 3y + 2 = 0$

$Slope = m = -2/3, (x_1, y_1) = (2, -2)$

$"Point - Slope Form " (y - y_1) = m * (x - x_1)$

$y + 2 = -(2/3) * ( x - 2)$

$3y + 6 = -2x + 4$

$2x + 3y + 2 = 0$

How do you write an equation of a line in slope intercept form if the line has a slope of -2/3-2/3 and contains the point (2,-2)(2,-2)?
