Answer:

y = x + 2

Explanation:

The slope intercept form is y = mx + b

m = the slope

b = y-intercept

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Pick 2 points (0,2) (-2, 0)

We see the y decrease by 2, and the x decrease by 2, so the slope is

m = -2 / -2 = 1

Y-intercept is located at (0,2)

So, the equation is y = x + 2
