Answer:

y + 2 = -1(x - 2)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

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

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

  • x₁ - x coordinate
  • y₁ - y coordinate
  • m - slope

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-2, 2)

Point (2, -2)

Step 2: Find slope m

  1. Substitute:
    m=(-2-2)/(2+2)
  2. Subtract/Add:
    m=(-4)/(4)
  3. Divide:
    m=-1

Step 3: Write equation

Point-Slope Form: y + 2 = -1(x - 2)

And we have our final answer!
