Answer:

x + y - 2 = 0

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:


y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept.

Put the given y-intercept b = 2 and the coordinates of the point (1, 1) to the equation:


1=1m+2 subtract 2 from both sides


-1=m\to m=-1

The equation of a line:


y=-1x+2\to y=-x+2

The general form of an equation of a line:


Ax+By+C=0

Convert:


y=-x+2 add x to both sides


x+y=2 subtract 2 from both sides


x+y-2=0
