We locate the point(-4,-2)
Then we consider the slope to be
,
with the numerator negative and the denominator
positive.
The numerator of the slope, -2, is the vertical change. So we
draw a line downward 2 units (downward because
it's negative)
The denominator of the slope, 3, is the horizontal change. So we
draw a line to the right 3 units (rightward because
it's positive)
Now we just draw a line across the two ends of that
L-shaped thingy, and that's it:
