You can put this solution on YOUR website! Slope m=-4.00
Plug value of the slope and point ( 0.50 , 2 ) in
Y = m x + b
2.00 = -2 + b
b= 2.00 - -2
b= 4
So the equation will be
Y = -4 x + 4

Strictly speaking, the answer in the post by @mananth is not correct.
His equation y = -4x + 4 correctly describes the line, but his equation is slope-intercept form,
not the standard form.
Standard form equation is 4x + y = 4 in this problem.
