Answer: y = -4x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Plug in y1 and x1, and m. M is the slope, x1 and y1 are the values for a coordinate. You don't need to plug anything in for y or x, just y1 and x1.
First, find the slope. To find the slope, use this "formula" : 
Find two coordinate points. Let's use (-2,4) and (0,-4). Based on this, we know that y1 is 4, y2 is -4, x1 is -2, and x2 is 0. Plug these into the formula:
Then, pick any point to plug into the equation. Let's use (0,-4)
Finally, plug everything into the equation:
y - - 4 = -4(x - 0)
y + 4 = -4x
y = -4x - 4
Answer:13.86km

Let the side of the garden alone (without walkway) be x.
Then the area of the garden alone is x^2.
The walkway is made up as follows:
1) four rectangles of width 2 feet and length x, and
2) four squares, each of area 2^2 square feet.
The total walkway area is thus x^2 + 4(2^2) + 4(x*2).
We want to find the dimensions of the garden. To do this, we need to find the value of x.
Let's sum up the garden dimensions and the walkway dimensions:
x^2 + 4(2^2) + 4(x*2) = 196 sq ft
x^2 + 16 + 8x = 196 sq ft
x^2 + 8x - 180 = 0
(x-10(x+18) = 0
x=10 or x=-18. We must discard x=-18, since the side length can't be negative. We are left with x = 10 feet.
The garden dimensions are (10 feet)^2, or 100 square feet.
