Negative x-intercept, positive y-intercept: Find the general equation of the line with x-intercept = -2 and y-intercept = 1/3.

We can use the definition of the 2 Intercept Rule: .

We can clear the 1/3 by multiplying numerator and denominator of the "y" term by 3 and get

We can multiply both sides by 2 to get

, or in general form,
