    Equation of the line is ---> y = -4x + 4

    -4 = slope (For every increase in x, y decreases by 4)

    +4 is the y-intercept (When x = 0, y = 4)

    If you want the equation for each individual x or y coordinate, look below.

    (0,4) (1,0) (2,-4) (3,-8)

    X values in order: 0, 1, 2, 3

    Y values in order: 4, 0, -4, -8

    The X-values start at 0, and increase by 1 every time.

    The Y-values start at 4, and decrease by 4 every time.

    Equation:

    (0+n, 4 - 4n)

    Where n is the numbered term, EX: n = 1 is (0,4), n = 2 is (1,0), n = 3 is (2, -4), n + 4 is (3, -8), ...

    slope = -4

    y-4 = -4x

    y = -4x + 4
