The correct answer should be B: y = -3x + 2.

Since the line crosses the y axis at 2, your y-intercept should be 2. Using rise over run you can compare the equations to the graph. If you convert 3x to a fraction, it would be 3/1x. Since the line is going down 3 and the rise of the y = -3x + 2 is -3, that part is correct. The line also moves over 1 unit, so the run is 1, therefore the correct slope would be -3 or -3/1. Now if you combine what you have it should be y = -3x - 2, which is the same equation as B.

Check the picture below.

notice the sides, now, on the second triangle, side 6 slants a bit more to fit in 13, on the third triangle, side 6 slants even further to fit 13 in, now, if 6 were to slant completely, it'll make a flat-line with side 5, and there will be a triangle no more.

but even if side 6 would stretch to a flat-line, 5+6 is just 11, whilst side 13 is longer than that, so no dice.
