Answer:

y = -2x -3

Explanation:

The line crosses the y-axis at -3, so that is the y-intercept.

It has a "rise" of -2 units for each "run" of 1 unit, so the slope is -2. (For example, from point (-1, -1) to point (0, -3).)

The slope m and y-intercept b are used in the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line:

y = mx + b

For the values this line has, the equation is ...

y = -2x -3
