Answer:

y = (-1/2)x + 2

Explanation:

The black line slopes down as we move from left to right, so we conclude that the slope is negative. From (0, 2) to (4, 0), y drops by 2 units (the rise) and x increases by 4 units (run).

Thus the slope is m = rise / run = -2/4, or m = -1/2.

The y-intercept is (0, 2), so the value of b in the equation y = mx + b is 2.

Thus the equation of this line is y = mx + b => y = (-1/2)x + 2
