Question 257338
Find an equation of the line having the given slope of -2 and given points (6,8)

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is:

y = m*x + b where m is the slope for the line.

Since we know that m = -2 we have

y = -2*x + b.

We know the line passes through the point (6,0) so we have:

0 = -2*6 + b
b = 12.

So the equation of the line is:

y = -2*x + 12
