Answer:

a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation does not change the direction (slope) of any lines. The slope of the image line is the same as the original when the line is subject to dilation. The y-intercept point (0, -2) will be multiplied by the dilation factor, so will become 4(0, -2) = (0, -8). The dilated line will have equation ...

y = -1/4x -8 . . . . . matches choice A
