Answer:
y = -x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
for this problem, you need the equation of a line.
the equation for a line -----> y = mx + b
1) b is always the easiest to find! it's always where y = 0. when you look on the graph, you will see that when y = 0, x = 2. that's the y-intercept!
y = mx + 2
2) let's find the slope now! rise is how much the line increases or decreases (up or down), run is how far across the line moves (left to right).
- this line decreases 2 spaces and is moving left 2 spaces
- 2/2 = 1
y = 1x + 2 or y = x +2
3) the final step is seeing if this line is negative or positive. the way you can tell is if it increasing or decreasing. this line is decreasing and you can tell because it starts high in the left corner, and falls in the bottom right.
y = -x + 2
