Answer:

E. y = -4x

Explanation:

The line goes through the origin, so the equation is of the form ...

y = kx

The constant of proportionality k has the value ...

k = y/x

The given point is (x, y) = (2, -8). Using these values in the expression for k, we have ...

k = -8/2 = -4

Then the equation is ...

y = -4x . . . . matches E
