Answer

We plot a line that goes through the points $(4,-4)$ and $(1,-2)$.

Work Step by Step

This is in point slope form, so we know that the point $(1,-2)$ is on the graph, and we know that the slope is $\frac{-2}{3}$. To plot this graph, first plot $(1,-2)$. Next, using the slope and recalling that it equals rise over run, go down 2 units and over three to the right to the point $(4,-4)$. Draw a line that goes through each of these points.
