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.
