Answer: See attached. It will be a line angled downwards.

Explanation:

First, we will plot the y-intercept. In slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, the y-intercept is the b-value. Here, that is -4. We will plot the coordinate point (0, -4).

Next, we will use the slope. In slope-intercept form, this is the m-value. Here, that is -2/3. We will count down two units and right three units from (0, -4). This is a negative slope, so the line will be going from top left to bottom right.
