you will need initials condition y(0) and y(-1); because Matlab don't allow negative index we 'll consider y(2) and y(1) as initials conditions
y(1)=0;
y(2)=0
k=0:20;
x=exp(-2*k);
for n=3:numel(k)
y(n)=-(1/4)*y(n-1)+(1/8)*y(n-2)+x(n-2)
end
hold on
stem(k(1:end-2),y(3:end),'r');
Or you can use lsim command
N=[1 0 0];D=[1 1/4 -1/8];
te=1
model=tf(N,D,te);
lsim(model,x,k,[0 0])
