Answer 1

Answer: D. y =
`-(2)/(3)`x + 2

Explanation:

First, we will find out b value. This is the y-intercept, or where the line intersects the y-axis. This is equal to positive 2.

Next, we will find the slope. We can do this with "rise over run." Starting at (0, 3), we count down two units and right 3 units for a slope of
`-(2)/(3)`.

Lastly, we will substitute these values into the equation to find our answer.

y = mx + b

y =
`-(2)/(3)`x + 2, answer D.
