let us use the y-intercept form of the line:

where m=the slope
______b=y-intercept

Since the line passes through (6,-7),we will use x=6 and y=-7.Furthermore, it is given that m=-2.Thus,





Thus, the slope-intercept for, of the equation of the line is

or, transforming this to the General Equation of the Line,
