The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given by y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.
We are given the point (5, 2) and the slope m = -6.
Let's substitute the values into the equation to calculate b:
2 = -6(5) + b
2 = -30 + b
2 + 30 = b
b = 32
Now we have the y-intercept b = 32, so the equation of the line is:
y = -6x + 32
Write an equation of the line through the given point with the given slope. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
(5, 2); m = -6
