slope = -8; (-2, -2)
Write in standard form an equation of the line passing through the given point with the given slope
**
Standard form of equation for a straight line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
for given equation:
y=-8x+b
solving for b using given point.
-2=-8(-2)+b
-2=16+b
b=-18
Equation:
y=-8x-18
