 Answer by stanbon(75887)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! write the equation of line that has a slope -2 and passes through the point 3,4 
------ 
Form:: y = mx + b 
--- 
Since "m" is the slope, m = -2 
---- 
y = -2x + b 
---- 
When x = 3, y = 4, so you can solve for "b":: 
4 = -2*3 + b 
b = 10 
----- 
Equation:: 
y = -2x + 10 
-------
