Answer:

y = -3x+20

Explanation:

First we will write the equation in point-slope form,


y-y_1=m(x-x_1), where m is the slope and
(x_1, y_1) is a point on the line.

We must find the slope. The formula for slope is


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Using our two points, we have

m = (8-2)/(4-6) = 6/-2 = -3

We will use the first point and this slope:

y-2 = -3(x-6)

Using the distributive property, we have

y-2 = -3(x)-3(-6)

y - 2 = -3x--18

y - 2 = -3x+18

Add 2 to each side:

y-2+2 = -3x+18+2

y = -3x+20
