Answer:

y = -6x - 4

Explanation:

Slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

To find the slope, you take two points from the line and plug them into the following equation:


(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Let's use (0, -4) and (-2, 8):


(8-(-4))/(-2-0) = (12)/(-2)=-6

So m = -6

We know that the y-intercept (b) is -4, so we can plug everything into the equation:

y = -6x - 4
