Answer:

A: y = -1/2x +3

Explanation:

The equation is y = mx + b

m = the slope

b = y-intercept

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Pick 2 points (0,3) (2,2)

We see the y decrease by 1 and the x increase by 2, so the slope is

m = -1/2

Y-intercept is located at (0,3)

So, our equation is y = -1/2 + 3
