Answer:

The equation is y = -4x

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of the line, we need to take two points and use the slope formula. For the purpose of this, we will use (1, -4) and (0, 0)

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-4 - 0)/(1 - 0)

m = -4/1

m = -4

Now that we have the slope, use that and either point in point-slope form and solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0 = -4(x - 0)

y = -4x
