Answer:

y=-2x+5

Explanation:

To figure out the equation of a line, use the formula y=mx+c, where y and x represent the co-ordinate values, m is the slope and c is the y-intercept (where the graph cuts the y-axis).

The slope can be found by taking two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), and using the formula m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1):

(0,5) and (1,3)

m=(3-5)/(1-0)

m=-2

We can see from the graph that the line cuts the y-axis at y=5, so c=5.

Now that we know m and c, we plug these values into our formula to get y=-2x+5
