Answer

Simplify the equation: y−3=−(x−2) to get y=−x+5

Steps

Step 1 ：The point-slope form of a line is given by y−y1=m(x−x1), where (x1,y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line.

Step 2 ：Substitute the given values into the formula: y−3=−1(x−2)

Step 3 ：Simplify the equation: y−3=−(x−2) to get y=−x+5
