y = -19/15x - 2

To determine the linear function for this problem all we need to do is use the slope-intercept formula.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:

$y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)$

Where $color(red)(m)$ is the slope and $color(blue)(b$ is the y-intercept value.

Substituting the information given:

$y = color(red)(-19/15)x + color(blue)(-2)$

$y = color(red)(-19/15)x - color(blue)(2)$
