Question 891617: How can you find an equation of the line when the x-intercept equals -2 and y-intercept equals 1
x-intercept is (-2,0) right?
y-intercept is (0,1) right?
To find the slope you do y2-y1/x2-x1 correct which would equal 1/2?
I need help from here to figure out the rest of the problem.

You have been given both the x-intercept and the y-intercept, and you found the slope. That is all you need.
Remember the form, y=mx+b ?
You already know b.
