Answer

y = -2x + 3

Work Step by Step

Looking at the graph, we can use the two marked points (0,3) and (1,1) to find the slope, which comes out to -2. We can then find the y-intercept just by looking at the graph, and seeing that it is at (0, 3) Then, we put it in to standard form using the y = mx + b formula, to get the answer: y = -2x + 3
