Answer:

y = 2x + 4

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = ( 0, 4) ← 2 points on the line

m =
(4-0)/(0-(-2)) =
(4)/(0+2) =
(4)/(2) = 2

the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 4 ) ⇒ c = 4

y = 2x + 4 ← equation of line
