I assume what you are trying to do is write the equation for a line with slope 4/3 and passing through the point (-2,11).
If so:
y = mx + b, we know slope m=4/3, x = -2 and y = 11. Therefore we can solve for the remaining variable, b.
11 = (4/3)(-2) + b
11 = (-8/3) + b
11 + (8/3) = b
(33/3) + (8/3) = b
b = 41/3
So... y = (4/3)x + (41/3)
