The general formula for the equation of a line in slope - intercept form is y = mx + b. You will likely need to memorize this formula.
The m represents the slope of the line, and the b represents the y coordinate of the y - intercept of the line.
If the slope is 2/3, plug in 2/3 for m. With a y - intercept of -4, you substitute -4 in for b.
The equation of your line should be y = 2/3x - 4
