Answer:
y = x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Use slope intercept form: [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
-2 is y2, -4 is y1, 2 is x2, and 0 is x1. Plug in these values
[tex]\frac{-2-(-4)}{2-0}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{-2+4}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex]
[tex]1[/tex]
1 is the slope. Grab a y coordinate in one of the coordinate pairs. I will choose -2. Choose a x value too. I will choose 2. Plug in the values in the equation y = mx + b.
-2 = 2 + b
Figure out b.
b = -4
Since we know the value of b and the slope, plug in the values to y = mx + b.
y = 1x - 4 or y = x - 4
y = x - 4 is the equation. Let me know if I got anything wrong. I hope this helps!
