y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept or where the graph crosses the y axis


from the equation y=-1/3x+2

slope=-1/3

y-intercept=2


so it is going downward from left to right

it also crosses the y axis at y=2

that rules out A and C

now the slope

slope=rise/run

given that slope=-1/3, rise=-1 and run=3

so for every 1 units it goes down, it goes 3 to the right

that would be D

the answer is D

y = -1/3 x + 2

the y intercept is 2

slope = -1/3 (down 1 to the right 3)

Choice D
