Answer 1

y=-2x

Explanation:

Answer 2

From the figure the given line passes through the points (0, 0) and (-4, 8).

Recall that the equation of a straight line is given by

`(y-y_1)/(x-x_1) = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Thus, The equation of the given figure is given by

`(y-0)/(x-0) = (8-0)/(-4-0)= (8)/(-4) \\ \\ -4y=8x \\ \\ y=-2x`
