Answer:

y = -x+3

Explanation:

Slope intercept form => y = mx+b

To find 'm', the slope, pick 2 coordinates.

(0,3)

(2,1)

Use this equation to find the slope using these 2 coordinates: (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)

(3 - 1)/(0 - 2) = -1

m = slope = -1

'b' is the y-intersept, or the point when a line passes through the y-axis. That's (0,3).

b = y-intercept = 3

So the equation will be y = -1x + 3, or y = -x + 3
