Answer:

y = (-1/3)x + 2

Explanation:

slope intercept form is y = mx + b

m is the slope and b is the y intercept

the y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis and that is 2

the slope is rise over run and for every time the line rises down one it runs to the right 3 times

this means that the slope is -1/3
