Given:
The slope of the line is m = -2.
The line passes throught the point (6,-9).
The objective is to find the equation of line.
Explanation:
Consider the point as,
[tex](x_1,y_1)=(6,-9)[/tex]The general equation to find the equation of line in slope intercept form is,
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]Substitution:
On plugging the given values in the general equation,
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-(-9)=-2(x-6) \\ y+9=-2x+12 \\ y=-2x+12-9 \\ y=-2x+3 \end{gathered}[/tex]Here, slope of the line is -2 and y- intercept is 3.
Hence, the equation of the line in slope intercept form is y = -2x + 3.
