y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's pick two points on the line: P_1(-4, 1) and P_2(2, -2). Let's calculate the slope of this line using these points:

m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \dfrac{-2 - 1}{2 - (-4)} = -\dfrac{1}{2}

With this value of the slope, we can write the general slope-intercept form of the equation as

y = -\frac{1}{2}x + b

To solve for the y-intercept b, let's use either P1 or P2. I'm going to use P2:

-2 = -\frac{1}{2}(2) + b \Rightarrow b = -1

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the equation is

y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 1
