Answer:

y = -3x +2

Explanation:

The y-intercept is at +2, so that is the value of the added constant (b).

The line goes down 3 units for each unit to the right, so the slope (m) is ...

... m = ∆y/∆x = -3/1 = -3

Then in the form ...

... y = mx + b

with m=-3 and b=2, your line's equation is ...

... y = -3x +2
