What is the equation of the line?
( -2,5 )
slope = +-6+
----------------
use the general point-slope formula
+%28+y+-+5+%29+%2F+%28+x+-+%28-2%29+%29+=+-6+
+y+-+5+=+-6%2A%28+x+%2B+2+%29+
+y+-+5+=+-6x+-+12+
+y+=+-6x+-+7+
------------------
check:
Does the line go through ( -2, 5 ) ?
+y+=+-6x+-+7+
+5+=+-6%2A%28-2%29+-+7+
+5+=+12+-+7+
+5+=+5+
OK
