Answer: D

Explanation:

this is in y=Mx+ b form. M stands for the slope and b stands for the y intercept, or where the line intersects with the y-axis.

Going left to right, the line slopes downwards, therefore it is a negative Slope. This narrows down your answer to either a or d. the slope is -1 because you can only ever write x by itself if it means 1x. In this case it is negative so it would look like this: -x

for the y-intercept, simply look at where the line passes through the y-axis. In this case, it is positive 2.

your finished equation would be: y=-x+2

i hope this is helpful
