Answer:

y = 2x - 20

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, hence

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (9, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = 18 + c ⇒ c = - 2 - 18 = - 20

y = 2x - 20 ← equation in slope- intercept form
