Answer:


y = (1)/(4)x - 8

Explanation:

Assuming we want to find the equation after


y = (1)/(4)x - 2

is dilated by a scale factor of 4 centered at the origin.

Note that after a dilation about the origin, the image and the preimage line are parallel.

However there the new y-intercept will be 4×-2=-8

The new equation is


y = (1)/(4)x - 8
