Answer:

the desired equation is y = (-3/2)x + 3

Explanation:

Two points through which the graph passes are (0, 3) and (2, 0). (0, 3) is the y-intercept. Thus, the slope-intercept equation y = mx + b becomes

y=mx + 3. Borrowing the coordinates of (2, 0) and substituting them into this last result, we get

0 = m(2) + 3,

which, after having been solved for m, gives us m = -3/2

and so the desired equation is y = (-3/2)x + 3.
