Answer:

y = 4x + 6

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 = 4, thus

y = 4x + c ← is the partial equation

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

- 2 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = - 2 + 8 = 6

y = 4x + 6 ← equation of line
