Answer:

Explanation:

To plot the line through the point, plot the point. Then find another point that has the given "rise" and "run". Draw the line through the two points.

__

The given point is (-7, -4). Locate that on the graph.

The slope is given as -2/3. This is the ratio of "rise" to "run", so it means the "rise" will be -2 for each "run" of 3. (rise/run = -2/3)

The rise is the vertical change. So, you want your second point to be 2 units below the given point. Its y-coordinate will be -4-2 = -6.

The run is the horizontal change. Your second point will be 3 units to the right of the given point, so its x-coordinate will be -7+3 = -4. Now, you can plot the point (-4, -6) and draw your graph through these two points.
