Answer:

y = (-5/2)x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

sloped = m = -5/2

point = (x1, y1) = (-6, 6)

using:  y - y1 = m(x - x1)

⇒ y - 6 = -5/2(x + 6)

⇒ y - 6 = (-5/2)x - 15

⇒ y = (-5/2)x - 9

Answer:

[tex]y=-\frac{5}{2}-9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line (slope-intercept) form is:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept, and x and y are the x and y coordinates.

We are given the slope and a x,y coordinate pair, therefore we can use those to solve for b, or the y-intercept by plugging in the given values into the equation:

[tex]6=-\frac{5}{2}*-6+b\\6=\frac{30}{2}+b\\6=15+b\\[/tex]

Subtract 15 from both sides

b=-9

Therefore the equation is:

[tex]y=-\frac{5}{2}-9[/tex]
