the slope is 8/-6 = -4/3
So, using the point-slope form,
y = -4/3 (x-4)
or
y-8 = -4/3 (x+2)
you can verify that they describe the same line.
Write an equation of the line passing through each of the following pairs of points.
(4, 0), (−2, 8)

(4, 0), (-2, 8).
Y = mx + b.
m = (8-0)/(-2-4) = -4/3.
b = y-mx = 0 - (-4/3)4 = 16//3.
Y = mx + b.
m = (8-0)/(-2-4) = -4/3.
b = y-mx = 0 - (-4/3)4 = 16//3.
(2,0) and (4,2)
