Answer:

The equation of the line is (y=2x+4).

Explanation:

Let the coordinates at which line cuts x axis be :
(x_1,y_1)=(-2,0)

Let the coordinates at which line cuts y axis be :
(x_2,y_2)=(0,4)

To find the equation of the line we will use point-slope form from the coordinates (-2,0) and (0,4).

Slope of the line= m


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)


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


(y-y_1)=m* (x-x_1)


(y-0)=2* (x-(-2))


y=2x+4

The equation of the line is (y=2x+4).
