Answer:

y = 1/4x - 3.

Explanation:

We see that the line passes through the points (4, -2) and (0, -3) so the slope is (-3 - (-2) / (0-4)

= -1 / -4

= 1/4 = the slope of the line.

The slope-intercept form of a straight line is y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y-intercept. Here the y-intercept is at (0, -3) so b = -3.

So the equation of the line is y = 1/4x - 3.
