hoblos · Answer

the slope between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
$$m = \frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2 - x1 }$$

here you have the point (-4,1) and slope  2/3
suppose the point we want to find is (x,y)
so you have
$$\frac{ 2 }{ 3 } = \frac{ y - 1  }{ x+4 }$$

now try replacing the coordinates of the point of each choice and check them
