Given:

The graph of a line.

To find:

The equation of the line.

Solution:

From the given graph, it is clear that the line passes through the points (0,-2) and (-6,8). So, the equation of the line is:


y-y_1=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)(x-x_1)


y-(-2)=(8-(-2))/(-6-0)(x-0)


y+2=(10)/(-6)x


y+2=-(5)/(3)x

Subtract 2 from both sides.


y=-(5)/(3)x-2

Therefore, the equation of the line is
y=-(5)/(3)x-2.
