You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+%28+y+-+2+%29+%2F+%28+x+-%28-4%29+%29+=+3%2F7+
This is ( slope ) = ( slope )
+%28+y+-+2+%29+%2F+%28+x+%2B+4%29+%29+=+3%2F7+
+y+-+2+=+%283%2F7%29%2A%28+x+%2B+4+%29+
+7%2A%28+y+-+2+%29+=+3%2A%28+x+%2B+4+%29+
+7y+-+14+=+3x+%2B+12+
+7y+=+3x+%2B+26+
+y+=+%283%2F7%29%2Ax+%2B+26%2F7+
check answer:
Does it go through (-4,2) ?
+y+=+%283%2F7%29%2Ax+%2B+26%2F7+
+2+=+%283%2F7%29%2A%28-4%29+%2B+26%2F7+
+14+=+-12+%2B+26+
+14+=+14+
OK
