The equation of the line is given as:

$y = -2x - 3$

This is in slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$, where:

• $m$ is the slope.
• $b$ is the y-intercept.

From the equation:

• Slope $m = -2$
• Y-intercept $b = -3$

So, the slope is $-2$, and the y-intercept is $-3$ (meaning the line crosses the y-axis at $(0, -3)$).

Would you like more details or have any questions about this? Here are some related questions:

1. What is the slope of a line parallel to $y = -2x - 3$?
2. How would the line change if the slope were 0?
3. What is the x-intercept of the line $y = -2x - 3$?
4. Can you convert the equation to standard form $Ax + By = C$?
5. How does changing the y-intercept affect the graph of a line?

Tip: To quickly find the slope in any linear equation, always look at the coefficient of $x$.
