.

            The  "solution"  and the  "answer"  by  @josgarithmetic are both   TOTALLY  WRONG.

            For your safety,  simply ignore it . . .

            I came to bring the correct solution. 


y-intercept is  (0, 2).

x-intercept is  ( -1/2, 0).

The slope  m =   = -4.



The equation is 

    y-2 = (-4)*(x-0)

or

    y-2 = -4x,        (point-slope form)

or, equivalently,

    y = -4x + 2       (slope intercept form).

Solved.

@josgarithmetic, since your equation is INCORRECT even after your fixing, make it EASIER:


        EITHER delete all your writing, OR accurately cross every line by red (which is PREFERABLE) . . .

FYI: The SLOPE is neither - 1 nor 1, as the other person says. In addition, the y-intercept is NOT + 4.

So, saying that it's either will result in a WRONG equation.

You can just DUMP this answer:  and this one:
