Answer:
y = 2x + 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope equation:
[tex]m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{6-(-2)}{-4-(-8)}\\m = \frac{8}{4}\\m = 2[/tex]
Next, find the y-intercept by subbing in one of the points and the slope into what you have so far in the equation:
(-8, -2)
y = mx + b
-2 = 2(-8) + b
-2 = -16 + b
-2 + 16 = b
b = 14
Now you have your final equation:
y = 2x + 14
