Answer:

y = -1/2x + 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(2-0)/(-1-0) = -1/2

2 = -1/2(-1) + b

2 = 1/2 + b

b = 3/2

Answer: y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming "distance from the origin is one unit" means distance on the x axis, a vertical straight line having an x-intercept of -1 would satisfy thede requirements.  y = -1 isn't much of an equation, but it goes through (-1,2) and is 1 unit (-1) from the origin.
