Answer: y = (-3/2)x+3

In decimal form, this is y = -1.5x+3

=========================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Start at (0,3). Move three units down and two units to the right to get to (2,0)

slope = rise/run

slope = -3/2

rise = -3 = go 3 units down

run = 2 = go 2 units to the right

--------------------------

We could use the two points (0,3) and (2,0) in the slope formula below

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

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

m = -3/2

So this is another way to see the slope is -3/2

--------------------------

The y intercept is where the graph crosses the vertical y axis. In this case, it's at 3. So b = 3

Using m = -3/2 and b = 3, we go from y = mx+b to y = (-3/2)x+3 which is equivalent to y = -1.5x+3
