Answer:

y=-2x-1

Step-by-step explanation: This is because of rise/run. This means rise, count up or down until you hit the line that is horizontal to where your line intersects a whole point. Then run, what you count horizontal matches with your rise count. This means we can count 2/1 and since it's going down it's negative. So the slope is -2 and the y-intercept is -1 because it intersects through the y-intercept -1.
