Answer:
y= -1/4x - 5
Explanation:
first you need to find the slope.
to do this you can use the equation: change in y/change in x which is also y2 - y1/x2-x1
-8 - (-6)/12-4
-2/8
-1/4 = slope
since the line's equation is y = mx + b, we still need to find the y-intercept. we can do this by just plugging in one of the points
-6 = -1/4(4) + b
-6 = -1 + b
-5 = b
so the final equation is y= -1/4x - 5
