Answer:

y = 5x/2 + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the equation for slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Since we have the coordinates of one point on this line and the slope, we can substitute that in and find b first:

y = mx + b

-8 = 5/2(-4) + b

-8 = -10 + b

b = 2

So we can use the slope and this y intercept we found to plug back into the equation:

y = mx + b

y = 5x/2 + 2
