Answer:

The equation of the line is;

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of the line with slope -1 and passes through the point (2,1).

Applying the point slope equation of line;

substituting the slope and the point;

$\begin{gathered} y-1=-1(x-2) \\ y-1=-x+2 \\ y=-x+2+1 \\ y=-x+3 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the equation of the line is;
