Answer:

y = -1/2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Slope Formula:
m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Step 1: Define

(2, -2) random points

(0, -1) y-intercept

Step 2: Find slope m


m=(-1-(-2))/(0-2)


m=(-1+2)/(-2)


m=(1)/(-2)


m=(-1)/(2)

y = -1/2x + b

Step 3: Write linear equation

y = -1/2x - 1
