Answer:

y = -2x

Explanation:

Equation in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.

m = slope = ∆y/∆x

Using any two points on the line, say (0, 0) and (-20, 40),

Slope (m) = (40 - 0) / (-20 - 0) = 40/-20

Slope (m) = -2

b = y-intercept = the value of y when x = 0.

b = 0

To write the equation of the line, substitute m = -2 and b = 0 into y = mx + b

Thus:

y = -2x + 0

y = -2x
