Answer:

y =
-(1)/(2)x+3

Explanation:

Slope of line passing through two points
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2,y_2) is give by,

Slope 'm' =
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Therefore, slope of the line passing through the points (0, 3) and (2, 2),

m =
(3-2)/(0-2) =
-(1)/(2)

Y-intercept 'b' of the given line in the graph is (3).

Since, equation of line with slope 'm' and y-intercept 'b' is,

y = mx + b

Therefore,equation of the line given in graph will be,

y =
-(1)/(2)x+3
