Answer:


\large\boxed{y=(2)/(5)x+(24)/(5)}

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:


y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the slope
m=(2)/(5) and the point (-2, 4).

Put them in the equation of a line:


4=(2)/(5)(-2)+b


4=-(4)/(5)+b add 4/5 to both sides


4(4)/(5)=b\to b=(24)/(5)
