Answer:

y = -2x +5

Explanation:

The line goes through grid intersections that are 2 units apart vertically and 1 unit apart horizontally. The slope is ...

m = rise/run = -2/1 = -2

The line intersects the y-axis at y = 5, so the y-intercept is b = 5.

The slope-intercept equation is ...

y = mx +b . . . . . line with slope m and y-intercept b

y = -2x +5 . . . . . line with slope -2 and y-intercept 5
