Answer:

y = - 2x + 6

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m =
image

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m =
image =
image = - 2

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 6 ) ⇒ c = 6

y = - 2x + 6 ← equation of line
