HOW TO:
* use slope intercept form
1) find the slope
slope = rise/run (rise divided by the run)
slope = -4/2
slope = -2
2) find the y-intercept (just the point where the line intersects the y-axis)
y-intercept is (0,-4)
3) use slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b (m stands for the slope, b stands for the y-intercept)
y= -2x + (-4)
y= -2x - 4
So your equation is y= -2x-4
