Answer:


y + 1 = (2)/(3)(x+2)

Explanation:

A line in point slope form is defined as:


y - b = m(x - a)

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

We can determine the line's slope using the given points A and B.


m = \frac{\textrm{rise}}{\textrm{run}} = (6)/(8) = (2)/(3)

Then, construct the equation using point
A(-2, -1).


y-(-1) =(2)/(3)(x-(-2))


y + 1 = (2)/(3)(x+2)
