Hi,
y - 15 = -2(x + 1)
y = -2x + 13
Slope = -2
Cuts y axis at (0, 13)
Cuts x axis at (6.5, 0)
Hope this helps. :-)

--------------------
It's the "point-slope" or "slope-intercept" form of the equation, not "point and slope"

What is the point and slope?

y-highlight%2815%29+=+-2%28x-highlight%28%28-1%29%29%29
The point indicated is (-1,15).

y+-+15+=+highlight%28-2%29%28x+%2B+1%29
The slope is -2.
