Answer :

Answer:

y = (-1/2)x + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the point where the line intersects the y axis) be (x2, y2) and the point where it intersects the x axis be (x1, y1)

Then the  slope

= gradient of the line

= ( y2- y1) / (x2 - x1)

= ( 1 - 0) / (0 - 2)

= -1/2

Using the general form of a straight line:

y = mx + c   where m = the slope and c is value of y at the intersect on y axis:

y = (-1/2)x + 1.
