You can put this solution on YOUR website! y = mx + b
where m = slope (change in y over change in x)
b = y-intercept (where the line crosses y-axis)
m can be found by the two points: m = (-2-2)/(2-0) = -4/2 = -2
Now we have y = -2x + b and just need to use one of the two points to find b:
2 = -2(0) + b —> b = 2
Plug this value in for b to complete the equation:

Ans: 
—
Check: (0,2): y = -2(0) + 2 = 2 (ok, the line passes through (0, 2))
(2,-2): y = -2(2) + 2 = -2 (ok, the line passes through (2,-2))

1) Find the slope using the slope formula
2) Substitute slope and y-intercept into the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b to get the equation.
You should realize that the y-intercept's coordinates were given, so the y-intercept is right in front of you.
