Y= -2x-1 the negative in front of the 2 is because the slope is negative and the -1 is because it’s down 1 on the y axis.

1. use commutative property to reorder the terms.2x+81=0.2. move the constant to right side by adding its opposite on both sides. 2x+81-81=0-81.2x=(-81).3. divide the equation on both sides.2x ÷ 2 = 81 ÷ 2.x = -81/2. your answer is -81/2. if you need to simplify it into a decimal, it’s -40.5.
