Answer:

y ≤ -2x - 2

Explanation:

Slope- intercept form is y = mx + b, m being the slope and b being the y-intercept.

The slope is the rise of the line over the run. We can choose two points that are exactly on the line. Let's try points (-1, 0) and (0, -2). The line slopes down, so we already know the slope is negative. From point (-1, 0), the line goes down 2 units and over 1 unit. So, the slope is -
image. We can also simply say that the slope is -2.

The line intersects with the y-axis at point (0, -2), so the y-intercept is -2.

Because the shading is on the left side of the line and the line is solid, we can tell that y is less than or equal to -2x - 2. So, the equation is-

y ≤ -2x - 2
