You see from the graph that when x = 0, y = 2 so the y-intercept is ( 0 , 2).

you are given points (-6 , 3) and (6 , 1). Find slope:

slope = change in y / change in x

slope = (3 - 1) / (-6 - 6)

slope = 2/-12

slope = -1/6

slope-intercept form: y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y intercept.

y = -1/6x + 2
