Answer: y=(-1/4)x

Explanation:

slope-intercept form: y=ax+b

--------------------------------------------

#1 Find the slope

- Use rise/run: -(2/8)=-1/4

-Use slope formula: (2-0)/(-8-0)=2/-8=-1/4

#2 Find the y-intercept

- Given the point (0,0), the y-intercept is already shown which is 0

------------------------------------------

a=-1/4

b=0

y=(-1/4)x
