Answer:

The linear function is
y=-x+3. The graph of function is given below.

Explanation:

The slope intercept form of a linear function is


y=mx+b

Where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Since the slope is -1 and the y-intercept is 3, therefore the linear function is,


y=-x+3

put y=0, to find x-intercept.


0=-x+3


x=3

Therefore the line intersect the y-axis at y=3, x-intercept is x=3 and the as the value of x increases the value of y decreases.

The graph of the linear function
y=-x+3 is given below.
