Answer:

y = -5x +4

Explanation:

The slope can be found using the slope formula:

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (-6 -4)/(2 -0) = -10/2 = -5

The point (0, 4) tells you the y-intercept is b = 4. So, the equation in slope-intercept form is ...

y = mx +b . . . . . where m is slope and b is y-intercept

y = -5x +4
