Answer:

y = (5/2)x - 4

Explanation:

(0, -4) and (2, 1)

(x₁, y₁) (x₂, y₂)

y₂ - y₁ 1 - (-4) 1 + 4 5

m = ------------- = ------------ = --------- = --------

x₂ - x₁ 2 - 0 2 2

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - (-4) = (5/2)(x - 0)

y + 4 = (5/2)x - 0

-4 -4

----------------------------

y = (5/2)x - 4

I hope this helps!
