Answer:

y = -1x -2

Explanation:

[] First, we can tell it is negative because it is going from top-left to bottom-right

[] Next, it intercepts the y-axis at -2, so our b is -2

[] Last, since it is graphed, we can use "rise over run"

() We move down one and to the right one, this becomes 1/1, which becomes a slope of 1, so our m is -1 since it is negative

Now let's plug our pieces in

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b

y = mx + b

y = (-1)x + b

y = -1x -2

Have a nice day!

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
