Answer

$y=-2x+2$ See graph

Work Step by Step

We are given the points: $(-1,4)$ $(2,-2)$ Determine the slope of the line: $m=\dfrac{-2-4}{2-(-1)}=\dfrac{-6}{3}=-2$ Determine the slope-intercept form of the line: $y-(-2)=-2(x-2)$ $y+2=-2x+4$ $y=-2x+4-2$ $y=-2x+2$ Graph the line using the two points:
