First, plot the point (-3,-1)

Since the slope is , this means that the rise is -1 and the run is 4. So to go from point to point, we can go down 1 and to the right 4 units.

Starting at the point (-3,-1), go down 1 unit (this is the "rise" portion):

and to the right 4 units (this is the "run" portion) to get to the next point (1,-2)

Now draw a line through these points

Answer:

So the graph of the line with slope passing through the point (-3,-1) looks like
