The answer from the post by @josgarithmetic is T O T A L L Y I N C O R R E C T.
For your safety, simply ignore it.
The correct solution and correct answer are below.
The equation in point-slope form is
y - (-4) = 2*(x- (-1)).
It is the same as
y + 4 = 2*(x+1). <<<---=== It is your final equation in the point-slope form. ANSWER
Next transform it to the standard form
y = 2x + 2 - 4,
y = 2x -2,
2x - y = 2. <<<---=== It is your final equation in standard form. ANSWER
