\

The line equation in slope-intercept form is \"\", where m is the slope

\

and b is the y-intercept.

\

First find the slope of the line.

\

\"\"

\

\"\"                           (Substitute 0 for x1, 2 for y1, 1 for x2 and – 2 for y2)

\

\"\"                           (Simplify)

\

\"\"                                 (Subtract: \"\")

\

\"\"                                   (Divide: \"\")\"\"

\

Next find the y-intercept.

\

The line crosses the y-axis at (0, 2).

\

So, y-intercept is 2.\"\"

\

Replace m with –4 and b with 2 in the equation\"\".

\

\"\"                          \"\"

\

The slope-intercept form of the line equation is \"\".
