Write an equation that has a slope of - 2 and passes through (-6, 2)

y = - 2x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope - intercept form is

y = mx + c (m is the slope and c the y - intercept)

Here m = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute ( - 6, 2) into the partial equation

2 = 12 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 12 = - 10

y = - 2x - 10 ← equation of line
