Answer:

y = -1(x) -3

Explanation:

Note that the equation used is: y = mx + b

It is given that the slope is -1, and x = 0, y = -3. Solve for b. Plug the corresponding number for the corresponding variable:

-3 = -1(0) + b

Simplify.

-3 = 0 + b

b = -3

-3 is your b. Plug in -3 for b.

y = mx + b ⇒ y = -1(x) -3

y = -1(x) -3 is your answer.
