Determine the equation of the line which has a slope of -6 and contains the point (2, -4). Provide answer in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
Using y = mx + b and substituting in for y, m and x, we have
-4 = -6(2) + b
-4 = -12 + b add 12 to both sides
8 = b so, the equation is....
y =-6x + 8 or, in Standard Form, 6x + y = 8
