The slope intercept form of the equation of a line is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We need to find the slope using the two points on the line

(-2,2) and (0,-4)

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( -4 - 2)/( 0 - -2)

= = ( -4 - 2)/( 0 +2)

= -6 / 2

=-3

The slope is -3

We know the y intercept is where it crosses the y axis ( where x=0)

The y intercept is -4

y = -3x-4

The equation is y = -3x-4
