Answer:

Your equation would be

y=4x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

So an easy way to figure this out is graph the points and look at the distance the points are away from each other. In this case it was 12 up and 3 right. This is your slope. Simplify the fraction to 4/1. Then from (2,-4) use the given slope to work back to a point that is on the y axis, which is (0,12). Plug all of the given information you found into y=mx+b and you get the given formula.

Get this equation into y=mx+b form.
y-2=-3(x-4)
y-2=-3x+12
y=-3x+12+2
y=-3x+14
Hope this helps!
And just a note, this is provided in point-slope formula, meaning there is a point on the line, (4,2), based on the initial equation.
