First find the slope of the line so change in y over change in x so 4-2/1-2 which is 2/-1 so -2 is your slope then plug that as well as a point from above to find your y intercept so y=mx+b 2=-2(2)+ b then you have 2=-4+b then add 4 to each side and you find b is six then you make ur equation from your slope and y int(b) y=-2x+6
