Answer:

y = -1/2 x - 3

Explanation:

Use the coordinates from the graph:

(-6, 0) and (0, -3)

Slope m = -3-0/0-(-6)

m = -3/6

m = -1/2

The y-intercept is -3 (point where the line meet the y intercept)

Substitute unto the expression y = mx+c

y = -1/2 x - 3

Hence the required equation is y = -1/2 x - 3
