Answer:

y=2x-8

or

f(x)=2x-8

Explanation:

To write in slope-intercept form using this information, first use the point slope formula.

y-y1=m(x-x1)

m is slope.

y+4=2(x-2)

Use distributive property on the right side.

y+4=2x-4

Now, subtract 4 from both sides.

y+4-4=2x-4-4

y=2x-8

Written using function notation:

f(x)=2x-8

Hope this helps!

If not, I am sorry.
