Step-by-step explanation:

its A :)

Answer= y=2x+6

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line: y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the points (5, -4) and (-1, 8). Substitute:

m= [tex]\frac{8-(-4)}{-1-5}[/tex] =[tex]\frac{12}{-6}[/tex] =-2

Put the value of the slope and the coordinates of the point (5, -4) to the equation of a line,

-4=-2(5)+b

=-10+b

6=b

y=2x+6
