Answer:

y = -x + 2

Explanation:

The point (0,2) is the y-intercept.

The equation of a line is y=mx + b.

The b variable represents the y-intercept.

The m variable represents the slope.

Substitute -1 for the slope and 2 for the y-intercept into the equation.

y = mx + b

y = (-1)x + (2)

y = -x + 2
