Answer:
y = -x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
[slope-intercept form] y = mx + b
m [slope] = ∆y/∆x = y₂–y₁ / x₂–x₁
b [y-intercept] = (0,b) → x = 0.
If y = 2 when x = 0, b = 2.
Since y decreases by 1 unit everytime x increases by 1 unit
a decrease by 1 unit is represented by -1, and an increase of 1 is represented by 1.
So a decrease of -1 over an increase of 1
is -1/1 = -1 = m.
