Answer:

y = -3x +7

Explanation:

The y intercept is 7. It is where the line crosses the y axis

We also need to find the slope

We need two points (0,7) and (3,-2)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (7 - -2)/(0-3)

(7+2)/(0-3)

9/-3

-3

The equation of a line is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -3x +7
