Answer:
y = (-7/3)x +3
Step-by-step explanation:
The line has a negative slope (eliminating choices B and C) that is steeper than a line with a slope of -1, The only answer choice with a negative slope less than -1 is choice D.
__
The slope is the coefficient of x. It is "rise"/"run". Here, the line goes through grid points (0, 3) and (3, -4), so drops 7 units (rise=-7) for each 3 units to the right (run=3). Then the slope is rise/run = -7/3.
The line crosses the y-axis at y=3, so the slope-intercept equation is ...
y = mx + b . . . . . . . . slope = m; y-intercept = b
y = (-7/3)x +3
