Write an equation of the line through (-2, - 1) having slope
8/7?

When slope and one point are known follow instructions on this page:

Calculate "b" from this equation:

b = y -mx where "m" is the slope

We'll use the point given (-2, -1) for "x" and "y"

b = -1 -(8/7) * -2

b = -1 + 16/7

b = 9/7

then we enter "b" and the slope into this equation

y = 8/7x +9/7

y = 1.142857 x + 1.2857142857
