Answer:

y = -2x+16

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has a y intercept at 16  (This is where it crosses the y axis)

The slope is found by using

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

  We have two point (0,16)  and (8,0)

  m = (0-16)/ (8-0)

     = -16/8

     = -2

We can use the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -2x+16
