This is the answer
y = -4x - 2
Work: The line crosses the y-axis at -2 making this the y-intercept. To find the slope, you need to take two points from the graph (you already have (0,-2) from the intercept) and put them in the equation:
y(sub 2) - y(sub 1) all over x (sub 2) over x (sub 1). Sub 1 and two just means the order of the points. so if you took the points (-1,2) and (0,-2), the equation would look like:
(-2-2)/(0-(-1)). This gives you -4/1 which is equal to -4. So now you have your y intercept (-2) and your slope (-4) so you put it into slope - intercept form:
y=mx + b where m is slope and b is y-intercept
