Answer:

y = (-3/7)x + 3

Explanation:

As we go from (0,3) to (7,0), x increases by 7 from and y decreases by 3 to 0.

Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -3/7.

Subst. the appropriate values from this info into the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line:

y = (-3/7)x + 3 Note that the y-intercept is given: (0,3).
