the point-slope form to find a general form of the equation of the line:
y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29 where m is a slope, x%5B1%5D and y%5B1%5D the coordinates of the given point
if slope is -4 and that passes through the point(-2,6), we will have
y-6=-4%28x-%28-2%29%29
y-6=-4%28x%2B2%29
y-6=-4x-8
y=-4x-8%2B6
y=-4x-2
