Given:


(-4,8)\text{ and (4,4) are passing through the line}
\begin{gathered} \text{Slope(m)}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \text{Slope(m)}=(4-8)/(4+4) \\ \text{Slope(m)}=(-4)/(8) \\ \text{Slope(m)}=-(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

Equation of line with the point (4,4) and the slope m


\begin{gathered} (y-y_1)=m(x-x_1) \\ y-4=-(1)/(2)(x-4) \end{gathered}
