Answer:

y = (-3/4)x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of this line.  Note how the first x-coordinate (-8) becomes 4, a jump of 12, and how the first y-coordinate (8) becomes -1, a decrease of 9.  Then the slope is

m = (change in y) / (change in x) = -9/12 = m = -3/4

Find the y-intercept from this data using the slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b becomes  8 = (-3/4)(-8) + b when x = -8, y = 8 and m = -3/4.

Solving this equation for b, we get:

                                     8 = 6 + b, so that b must be 2.

The desired equation is y = (-3/4)x + 2.
