The calculated equation of the line is d. y - 2 = -3(x - 1)

How to determine the equation of the line

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The graph

A linear equation is represented as

y - Y = m(x - X)

Where

m = Slope

(X, Y) = point on the graph

The slope is calculated using

m = (Y - y)/(X - x)

Using the points on the graph, we have

m = (5 - 2)/(0 - 1)

m = -3

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

y - Y = -3(x - X)

Using the point (1, 2), we have

y - 2 = -3(x - 1)

Hence, the equation of the line is y - 2 = -3(x - 1)
