y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The graph shows that the y-intercept is at (0,1), so now you have y=mx+1. Now find the slope, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Let's take the points (0,1) and (1,-2) that lie on the line. (-2-1)/(1-0) = -3/1 = -3. So your answer is y=-3x+1.

By the way, you can immediately rule out c because a line that slopes down has a negative slope.
