The equation of a line is Y = mX + B.
Where m is the slope and B is the Y-intercept.
Given m = -4/3 and the point (-4,-2).
When X = -4, then Y = -2.
Plug these values into the equation of a line and solve for B.
Y = mX + B

Simplify.

Convert -2 to thirds by multiplying it by 3/3.
-2 * 3/3 = -6/3

Subtract 16/3 from both sides.

So the equation of the line is
