Answer:

y=-3x+3

Explanation:

The equation you want to use is y=mx+b. First you want to find m, the slope, but since the slope of 3 is given in all of the answers, you just want to determine if the line is negative or positive. This line is going negative because it approaches the x axis, and crosses it in the negative direction. Now we know the slope is -3x all that's left to do is to find the y intercept represented in the equation y=mx+b as +b. The point where the line crosses the y axis is positive 3, so the final equation is y=-3x+3.

-3x+3. the reasoning is because when you find slope for a negative slope you go by rise over run but since this is negative you go down. You go down three times and go to the left once and you hit the second point so your slope is -3x because it’s negative slope and -3/1 is -3 (y=mx+b). Then your y intercept is 3 on the graph.
