From the graph, we observe that,

The y-intercept is 7.

Next to find the slope:

Take points are (0,7) and (2,2).

Using the slope formula,


\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ =(2-7)/(2-0) \\ =-(5)/(2) \end{gathered}

Hence, the slope is


m=-(5)/(2)x

Then, the equation of the line can be obtained by using the formula is,


\begin{gathered} y=mx+c \\ y=-(5)/(2)x+7 \end{gathered}

Hence, the equation of the line is,


y=-(5)/(2)x+7
