equation A

we have that

Its a vertical line

x=-4

equation B

Its a vertical line

x=4

equation C

Its a horizontal line

y=4

equation D

Its a horizontal line

y=-2

equation E

we need tow points to calculate the slope

we have the points (-4,4) and (4,-2)

the slope is equal to

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

m=-6/8

m=-3/4

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

y=mx+b

we have

m=-3/4

point (4,-2)

substitute

-2=(-3/4)*(4)+b

solve for b

-2=-3+b

b=1

the equation is

y=(-3/4)x+1
