Answer:

y = 1/4x - 4

Explanation:

The slope is four points behind the origin, so we subtract -4 from the equation:

y = 1/4x - 4

use two points on the line to find the slope:

(0,-4) (4,2)

Slope = change in y over change in x

Slope = (2 - -4) / (4-0) = 6/4 = 3/2

Y-intercept is the y value when x is 0, the line goes through y=2 at x = 0, so the t intercept is 2

The equation is:

Y = 3/2x + 2
