Answer:

y = -3x - 3

Explanation:

the y-intercept is -3 as shown in the graph, so, b = -3

if you count, the rise is 3 and the run is -1, so the slope will be -3/1

-3/1 equals to -3

y = -3x - 3

Answer:

y = –3x – 3

Explanation:

m = the slope which is 3/1, or 3. Since the line is going from the bottom right corner to the top left, it is a negative slope so –3.

b = the y-intercept which is –3.

So,

y = –3x – 3
