Answer:

  • y = - 0.5x + 3

Explanation:

Take two points on the line:

  • (0, 3) and (2, 2)

The slope-intercept form:

  • y = mx + b, where m- slope, b- y-intercept

Find the slope:

  • m = (2 - 3) / (2 - 0) = - 1 / 2 = - 0.5

The y- intercept is b = 3 according to the first point.

The line is:

  • y = - 0.5x + 3
