Answer:

Explanations:
The equation of a line passing through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given as:
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
Where m is the slope of the line given by the formula:
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
For the given points (-4, 2) and (4, -8)
x₁ = -4, y₁ = 2, x₂ = 4, y₂ = -8
Find the slope, m
m = (-8 -2) / (4 - (-4))
m = -10 / 8
m = -5 / 4
Substituting the values of m, x₁, and y₁ into the equation y - y₁ = m (x - x₁):

Simplify the equuation above to the form y = mx + b
