choose one and isolate y by subtracting or adding x and 2 on both sides (opposite of the sign given). the equation form should now me y=mx +b. the 2 in this new equation becomes the y intercept meaning the line crosses the y axis at this given number. the number multiplied to x, or m, is the slope, which the graph indicates is negative 1. so m would equal -1. slope is read as rise over run. since -1 is a whole number, we would make it over 1. so the graph would go up 1 left 1 and so on

I believe it's the first option because the y intercept is 2 and the slope is positive one. So when you have -x + y - 2 = 0 you would take away y from that side of the equation and put it on the other side. That would give you -x -2 = -y. Then you would have to divide all of that by -1 because y can't be negative and you would get x + 2 = y which is the equation in a different form.

I hope this helps :) if you want me to explain it any further let me know
