Answer:

y = -3x - 1

Explanation:

Pick any 2 points on the line and find the slope, m:

(-1, 2) and (1, -4)

m = (-4 - 2) / (1 - -1) = -6/2 = -3

The y-intercept, b, is -1 (read it right off the graph, where the line passes through the y axis).

Equation of the line in y = mx + b form:

y = -3x - 1
