For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:
[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]
Where:
m: It is the slope of the line
b: It is the cut point with the y axis
We have according to the data:
[tex]m = -2[/tex]
Thus, the equation is of the form:
[tex]y = -2x + b[/tex]
We substitute the given point:
[tex](x, y) :( 1, -6)\\-6 = -2 (1) + b\\-6 = -2 + b\\-6 + 2 = b\\b = -4[/tex]
Finally, the equation is:
[tex]y = -2x-4[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]y = -2x-4[/tex]

Answer:
[tex]y=-2x-4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Write the linear equation in point slope form
[tex]y-y1=m(x-x1)[/tex]
we have
[tex]m=-2\\(x1,y1)=(1,-6)[/tex]
substitute
[tex]y+6=-2(x-1)[/tex]
step 2
Convert to slope intercept form
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
we have
[tex]y+6=-2(x-1)[/tex]
isolate the variable y
[tex]y+6=-2x+2[/tex]
[tex]y=-2x+2-6\\y=-2x-4[/tex]
