y = -2x

The formula for this would be y=mx+b. 'm' being the slope and 'b' being the the y-intercept.

The point on the line that intercepts with the y axis is (0,0) so, we wouldn't put a number for b, just remove it.

The slope formula is y2-y1/x2-x1.

point 1: (-2,4)

point 2: (2,-4)

-4-4/2+2

-8/4

-2

m = -2

Now, plug in everything we know into the formula.

y = -2x

And there you have it!

Hope this helps!

Let me know if there are any more questions you need help with :)
