Put into slope intercept form: (-4, 1); m = - 2/3

Y = mx + b

slope (m) = - 2/3

(-4,1) ... x = - 4 and y = 1

now we sub and find b, the y int

1 = - 2/3 (-4) + b

1 = 8/3 + b

1 - 8/3 = b

3/3 - 8/3 = b

-5/3 = b

so ur equation is : y = - 2/3x + (-5/3) which can be written as : y = - 2/3x - 5/3
