Answer:

y = -3/2 x +3

Explanation:

To find the equation of the line, we first need to find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( 3-0)/(0-2)

= 3/-2

= -3/2

The slope-intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and y is the y-intercept

We know the slope and the y-intercept is where the x value is zero. The y-intercept is 3

y = -3/2 x +3
