Answer:

  y +2 = 4/5(x -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two marked points differ vertically by 4 (rise = 4) and horizontally by 5 (run = 5). The slope is ...

  m = rise/run = 4/5

The point-slope form of the equation for a line is ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

For slope 4/5 and point (2, -2), the equation is ...

  y +2 = 4/5(x -2)
