Hi, 
Find the slope of the line through each pair of points:
*[tex \LARGE\ Using \ the \ standard \ slope-intercept \ form \ for \ an \ equation \ of \ a  \ line \ y = mx + b ] 
*[tex \LARGE\ where \ m \ is \ the \ slope \ and \ b \ the \ y-intercept]
(-2,-8) 
 (1,4) m = -12/-3 = 4
 y = 4x + b    ||Using Pt(1,4) to solve for b
 4 = 4*1 + b 
 0 = b
 y = 4x    OR in Standard form:  4x -y = 0
