An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x and y axes extending from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. An upward slanting line is plotted on the coordinate plane. The upward slanting line with arrows at both ends passes through the following closed points: left parenthesis negative 4 comma start fraction negative 10 over 3 end fraction right parenthesis, and left parenthesis negative 1 comma start fraction negative 4 over 3 end fraction right parenthesis.
