Answer:

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

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = -
(3)/(4) , then

y = -
(3)/(4) x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, - 4 ) into the partial equation

- 4 = -
(3)/(2) + c ⇒ c = -
(8)/(2) +
(3)/(2) = -
(5)/(2)

y = -
(3)/(4) x -
(5)/(2) ← equation of line
