Answer:

• slope: -1
• equation: y = -x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the ratio of "rise" to "run". The "rise" is the vertical distance between two points; the "run" is the corresponding horizontal distance.

Here, we see point A is (0, 3) and point B is (1, 2). Then the "rise" is 2 -3 = -1, while the "run" is 1 - 0 = 1. The slope is the ratio ...

  m = rise/run = -1/1 = -1

The slope of the line is -1.

The point A is the y-intercept, where the line crosses the y-axis. It tells us the value of y is 3 when x=0. So, we can write the equation in slope-intercept form as ...

  y = mx + b . . . . . where m is the slope (-1) and b is the y-intercept (+3)

  y = -x +3
