Write an equation for the line in slope intercept form

Question

Slope:-2 passing through (-2,8)

Answer 1

I am going to start with the slope-point form. y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-8=-2x-(-2) or y-8=-2x +2

now you add 8 to both sides to get slope intercept form
y=-2x+10

Answer 2

-2(-2)+10 is not 8

use the slope-intercept form:

y-8 = -2(x+2)
y = -2x + 12
