Complete the equation of the line whose slope is -2 and y intercept is (0,3)

The equation of the line whose slope is -2 and y intercept is (0,3) is y = -2x + 3

Given that line has slope of -2 and y - intercept of (0, 3)

We have to find the equation of line

The equation of line can be found by using the slope intercept form

The slope intercept form is given as:

y = mx + c

Where "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y-intercept

Here given that slope = m = -2

y - intercept is the y-coordinate of a point where a line intersects the y-axis.

So here y intercept is (0, 3) and we get c = 3

Substituting the values in slope intercept form we get,

y = -2x + 3

Thus the equation of line is found
