Answer:

y=-1/4x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The Y intercept is at -1 so the end of the equation should be -1 and not -4.

The graph is decreasing by 1 block down every 4 blocks to the right so the equation needs -1/4x as the slope.

Sorry I'm bad at explaining this.

The equation of line shown in the graph is [tex]y = -\frac{1}{4} x-1[/tex].

How to find the equation of line from the two points?

If [tex](x_{1},y_{1} )[/tex] and [tex](x_{2} ,y_{2})[/tex] are the two points, then the equation of line through these points are given by

[tex](y - y_{1}) = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} } (x-x_{1})[/tex]

According to the given question

We have a line on a graph.

The two points through which the line is passing are  (-4, 0) and (4, -2).

Therefore, the equation of line passing through points (-4, 0) and (4, -2) is given by

[tex](y -0) = \frac{-2-0}{4+4}(x +4)[/tex]

⇒[tex]y = \frac{-2}{8} (x+4)[/tex]

⇒[tex]y = -\frac{1}{4} x -1[/tex]

Hence, the equation of line shown in the graph is [tex]y = -\frac{1}{4} x-1[/tex].
