The slope of the line is negative, indicating that as x increases, y decreases. When y is 0, the line intersects the x-axis. By visually estimating or calculating the slope and y-intercept from the given figure (not provided here), one can determine that the x-value at this point is negative. Among the options, -2/3 is the only negative value that fits this description, assuming the line's linear equation leads to this x-value when y is set to zero.
