Answer:

y=-4x+4

Explanation:

solve for the slope y2-y1 over x2-x1

16-(-4) over -3-2 =-4

plug into point slope form y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-4)=-4(x-2)

Answer:

y=-4x+4

Explanation:

So use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1 and enter the given points

16-(-4)/-3-2

= 16+4/-5

=20/-5

= -4

Slope= -4

y=-4x+b enter 1 given point (2,-4)

-4=-8+b

b=4

so the slope int. form is

y=-4x+4
