y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Here, the slope is -3/2 and the y-intercept is 5.

y = -3/2x + 5

Answer:

Explanation:

(0,5) & (2 , 1)


Slope = (y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))\\\\\\=(1-5)/(2-0)\\\\=(-4)/(2)=-2

m = -2

y = mx + b

Plugin m = -2 , x = 0 and y= 5 in the above equation

5 = 0 + b

b = 5

Answer: y = -2x + 5
