If you want to find the equation of line with a given a slope of which goes through the point (,), you can simply use the point-slope formula to find the equation:
---Point-Slope Formula---
where is the slope, and )
is the given point
So lets use the Point-Slope Formula to find the equation of the line
Plug in , , and (these values are given)
Rewrite as
Rewrite as
Distribute
Multiply and to get
Multiply and to get
Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate y
Combine like terms and simplify

Answer:
So the equation of the line with a slope of which goes through the point (-6,-2) is:
The graph looks like this:
