Question 519510
x - 4y = 8. 

4y= x-8
y=x/4 -2
the y intercept is -2 (0,-2)

passing through (2,4)

x1		y1	x2	y2				
0		-2	2	4				
								
slope m =		(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)						
(	4	-	-2	)/(	2	-	0	) 
(	6	/	2	)  				
m=		3      						 
								
Plug value of  the slope  and point (	2	,	4	) in	
Y 	=	m	x 	+	b			
4.00	=	6    	+	b				
b=	4	-	6    					
b=	-2      							
So the equation  will be								
Y 	=	3    	x 		-2
