The equation of line is y = -4x

Solution:

Given points are ( 0, 0) (2, -8)

Find the slope of line

From given,

Substituting the values we get,

The equation of line in slope intercept form is given as:

y = mx + c --------- eqn 1

Where,

m is the slope of line

c is the y intercept

Substitute m = -4 and (x, y) = (0, 0) in eqn 1

0 = -4(0) + c

c = 0

Substitute m = -4 and c = 0 in eqn 1

y = -4x + 0

y = -4x

Thus the equation of line is y = -4x
