Answer:


y = -(2)/(3)x +0 OR
y = -(2)/(3)x

Explanation:

First, find the slope (m) using two points (0,0) and (-6, 4)

m =
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)


m=(4-0)/(-6-0) \\\\m=(4)/(-6)\\\\m=(2)/(-3)\\\\m=-(2)/(3)


y=mx+b


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

Now, we find b using (-6, 4)


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


4 = -(2)/(3)(-6) +b\\\\4 = (12)/(3) +b\\\\4 = 4 +b\\\\-4 -4\\\\0=b


y = -(2)/(3)x +0 OR
y = -(2)/(3)x

Hope this helps!
