Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically I located the y-intercept first. Where is that? At the point (0,-2). Now from there, I found the nearest point on an intersecting grid line, in this case it would be (-1,0). So from the y-intercept, I looked at how many spaces I would have to move to get to (-1,0). You would have to go up 2 spaces and to the left 1 space. This is also written as 2/-1. Simplify this and you get -2! Hope this helped!
