Hi, there.

______

First off, let's remember the slope-intercept formula.


-\!\!\!\longrightarrow
\boldsymbol{y=mx+b}.

Here,

»
\boldsymbol{m} -> gradient

»
\boldsymbol{b} -> y-intercept

≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊

We know that

»
\boldsymbol{m} -> -1

»
\boldsymbol{b} -> 1

So let's substitute these parameters!


\boldsymbol{y=-1x+1}

Simplify.


\boldsymbol{y=-x+1}

Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,

happy studying!!!
