Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 2 and c = - 2 , then

y = - 2x - 2 ← is the equation of the line

To find the x- intercept let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x , that is

- 2x - 2 = 0 ( add 2 to both sides )

- 2x = 2 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 1

The x- intercept is - 1 → B
