Answer:


y-2=-(5)/(7)(x-6)

Explanation:

The point slope formula is
y-y1=m(x-x1).

(x1,y1) is one point on the line. 6 would be x1 and 2 would be y2.

m is the slope. The question says that the slope of the line would be -5/7.

After plugging in the cordinates and slope of the line in the formula, we should get:


y-2=-(5)/(7)(x-6)
