Answer:

y = -2x - 1

See image

Explanation:

The "slope-intercept" form of the equation is the

y = mx + b form

So you need to find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b), which you are able to find on the image in the question.

Slope (m) tells how steep a line is and whether it goes up or down from left to right. It also works just like directions, from any point on the line to any other point on the line.

The y-intercept (b) is the point on the line where the line crosses the y-axis.

The slope is -2 and the y-intercept is -1

So the equation is

y = -2x - 1

Slope is 2/-1 or -2. Because you go up twice and then you go left once.
