Answer:

y = -3x + 1

Explanation:

First, we can find the slope of the line.

The slope is (change in y)/(change in x).

We can use the points that are marked in orange: (0,1) and (1,-2)

The change in y is 1 to -2, which is -3.

The change in x is 0 to 2, which is 1.

The slope will be -3/1, which is also: -3.

We have y = -3x + b currently.

The b is the y-intercept, meaning (the point that touches the y axis, the vertical line).

The point (0,1) touches the y-intercept, so b will be 1.

We can finish our equation as: y = -3x + 1
