Linear equation in point-slope form. Plot point (-1,2), and find some other points using slope 4%2F3, and draw the line through the points.

.
Convert to slope intercept form:
y-2= 4/3(x+1)
y-2=(4/3)x+(4/3)
y=(4/3)x+(10/3)
The y-intercept is (0,(10/3))
.
Find the x intercept, let y=0:
y=(4/3)x+(10/3)
0=(4/3)x+(10/3)
-(10/3)=(4/3)x
-(10/4)=x
The x-intercept is (-(10/4),0)
.
Plot the two intercepts and draw a line through them:
