Answer:

y = -x +1

Explanation:

The given point is 2 units left of the y-axis. The slope of -1 means that a point 2 units right of that (on the y-axis) will be 2(-1) = -2 units vertically from y=3.

That is, the line will cross the y-axis at y=3-2 = 1. Now, you know the slope is -1 and the intercept is 1, so the equation is ...

y = mx + b . . . . . where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

y = -x + 1

Through: (-2, 3), slope =-1 Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the-example-1
