Answer: A

Explanation:

Using the given points, the slope is
(-4-(-2))/(2-1)=-2. So, since the line passes through the origin, the equation is
y=-2x.

Answer: A. y = -2x

Explanation:

First, we will use the slope formula to find the slope of our line.


\displaystyle (y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) ) =(-4--2)/(2-1) =(-2)/(1) =-2

Next, our y-intercept is given. This is the point at which the line intercepts the y-axis. The y-intercept is 0 since the line intercepts at (0, 0).

Now, we can write our slope-intercept form equation.

y = mx + b

y = -2x + 0

y = -2x
