Based on the graph shown above, the equation in slope-intercept form is y = -1/2(x) - 1.

In Mathematics and Geometry, the point-slope form of a straight line can be calculated by using the following mathematical equation (formula):


y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Where:

  • x and y represent the data points.
  • m represent the slope.

First of all, we would determine the slope of the line by using these points (-2, 0) and (0, -1);


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

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

Slope (m) = -1/2

At y-intercept (0, -1) and a slope of -1/2, an equation for this line can be calculated by using the point-slope form as follows:

y + 1 = -1/2(x - 0)

y = -1/2(x) - 0 - 1

y = -1/2(x) - 1
