Answer:

y = 3x - 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 = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

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

m =
(2+4)/(2-0) =
(6)/(2) = 3

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

y = 3x - 4 ← equation of line
