Answer:
y=x-2

Explanation:

I explained the other problem you asked, why couldnt you apply that info to this one? Either way, Ill explain it again.

We can see the slope intercept is -2, so b = -2

To get the slope, just from visualization. Look at the y value and x value direction for which you gotta take to get to the next coords. From the y-intercept, you go up 1 and then right 1. 1/1 = 1

Answer:

y = x-2

Explanation:

Pick two points on the line

(0,-2) and (2,0)

We can find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (0--2)/(2-0)

= (0+2)/(2-0)

2/2

=

We know the y intercept is -2 ( where it crosses the y axis)

y = mx +b is the slope intercept form of the equation where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 1x -2

y = x-2
