y=-2x


Explanation

You could find the slope of line going through the points (2,-4) and (-1,2). It is

slope is -6/3 or -2
So the line is
Now plug in one of the points and the slope into point slope form and find the line


y+4=-2(x-2) or
y+4=-2x+4 so
y=-2x


Check it by making sure BOTH points are on the line. Plug the values into the equation you found for the line.


-4=-2(2)
2=-2(-1)
