Question 409983
In order for us to be able to use the point-slope form to find the equation of the line passing through those points, we need to find the slope using the formula:
{{{m = (y[2] - y[1])/(x[2] - x[1])}}}
{{{m = (0 + 2)/(4 + 4)}}}
{{{m = 2/8 = 1/4}}}

rise = 1
run = 4

Now let's use the point-slope form to find the equation.

{{{y - y[1] = m (x - x[1])}}} where m = slope
{{{y + 2 = (1/4)(x + 4)}}}
{{{y + 2 = (1/4) x + 1}}}
{{{y = (1/4) x - 1}}}

{{{graph (500, 500, -4, 4, -2, 0, (1/4)x - 1)}}}
