Answer:

The equation is y = -1/2x - 1

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b ( m = slope )

( -2,0 ), ( 0, -1 )

Slope =
(y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

Slope =
(-1 - 0)/(0 -(-2))

Slope =
-(1)/(2)

y = -1/2x + b , insert one of the points: ( 0, -1 ) = -1 = -1/2(0) + b -> -1 = b

b = -1

y = -1/2x - 1
