Answer

The slope-intercept form is $y=-2x$.

Work Step by Step

The given points are $(x_1,y_1)=(-2,4)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(0,0)$ Slope $\Rightarrow m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ Substitute all the values. $\Rightarrow m=\frac{0-4}{0-(-2)}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow m=\frac{-4}{2}$ $\Rightarrow m=-2$ The point-slope form $\Rightarrow y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ Substitute $-2$ for $m,$ $-2$ for $x_1$ and $4$ for $y_1$. $\Rightarrow y-4=-2(x-(-2))$ $\Rightarrow y-4=-2(x+2)$ Use distributive property. $\Rightarrow y-4=-2x-4$ Add $4$ to each side. $\Rightarrow y-4+4=-2x-4+4$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=-2x$ Hence, the slope-intercept form is $y=-2x$.
