Answer:
[tex]y = 2x + 2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of any (non-vertical) line can take the form
y = ax + b where a is the slope and b is the y intercept. We know that in this case, the y intercept is 2. So we can substitute b = 2:
[tex]y = ax + 2.[/tex]
Now, to find the x intercept, simply put y = 0 (since every point on the x axis has y = 0) and x = -1, since that is the given x intercept:
0 = -a + 2, so we see that a = 2. The equation is then:
y = 2x + 2
