Answer:
\Large\boxed{y-2=-(6)/(5) (x-0)}

Explanation:

Given the requirement of function form

Point-slope form: y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

  • m = slope
  • (x₁, y₁) = Any point on the line

Given information

Slope (m) = -6/5

Y-intercept (x₁, y₁) = 2 = (0, 2)

Substitute values into the required form

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y - (2) = (-6/5) (x - 0)


\Large\boxed{y-2=-(6)/(5) (x-0)}

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions
