Answer:

y + 13 = -
(2)/(3) (x + 11)

Explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

here m = -
(2)/(3) and (a, b ) = ( - 11, - 13 ) , then

y - (- 13) = -
(2)/(3) (x - (- 11) ) , that is

y + 13 = -
(2)/(3) (x + 11)
