Slope = 2/5 ; Passes through (-4, -7) ; Point-slope form

point-slope form : y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

Simply plug everything in :)

Remember !! m=slope

y - (-7) = 2/3(x - (-4))

Simplify.

y + 7 = 2/3(x + 4)

*Some teachers want this simplified more so here's the simplest answer :

y + 7 = 2/3x + 8/3 *

~Hope I helped!~
