Answer:

C.
y = - (1)/(4) x - 2

Explanation:

To find slope using coordinates, use the formula above.


(4, - 3) \: (0, - 2)→ ( - 2 - ( - 3))/(0 - 4)→ ( - 2 + 3)/( - 4) → - (1)/(4)

Now, using the
y = mx + b formula, plug in
- (1)/(4) as
m (slope) and either coordinate as the
x and
y values. It looks like this:


- 3 = - (1)/(4)(4) + b

To solve for
b, continue to use PEMDAS.


- 3 = - (1)/(4)(4) + b→ - 3 = - 1 + b→ - 2 = b

Now use
m and
b to solve for your equation:


y = - (1)/(4) x - 2

The answer is C.
