X intercept of -1 means that the line passes through (-1,0)

y intercept of 2 means that the line passes though (0,2)

The equation of this line is

(y - y1) = [(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)] x (x - x1), that is

y - 0 = [(2 - 0)/(0 + 1)] x (x +1), that is

y = (2) x (x +1) or

y = 2x + 2

Verification: In the equation y = 2x + 2

1) substitute -1 for x and y evaluates to 0;

2) substitute 0 for x in the equation and you get y as 2

which means this line passes through (-1,0) and (0,2)
