Answer: y = (-3/2)x+3</h3>
In decimal form, this is y = -1.5x+3
=========================================
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
