Answer:

y = -2(x -4)

Explanation:

The equation of the line is conveniently written in point-slope form, since we are given a point and a slope. That form is ...

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Using the given point and slope, the equation for the line is ...

y = -2(x -4)

__

This simplifies to the slope-intercept form ...

y = -2x +8
