Well all you need to do to write the linear equation for this function. I assume you want to know, is that you must obtain 2 points, and calculate the slope, then place the info within the following form.
Y = mx + b
1 of the points has to be the y intercept, which can be obtained from the graph, and the other, any other point, which can also be the X intercept.
So, X intercept - (2,0)
Y intercept - (0,3).
Slope = y/X = 3-0/0-2
Slope = 3/-2 or -3/2.
Now put everything together in form:
Y = mx + b
Y = -3/2x + 3.
I believe this is the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a(n) = -3 - 2(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The most general formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence (such as this sequence is) is
a(n) = a(1) + c(n-1), where c is the common difference.
Here a(1) = -3 and c = -2.
Thus,
a(n) = -3 - 2(n-1).
