Answer: (y + 7) = 2(x + 6)

Explanation:

A point-slope form equation is given as (y - y1) = m(x - x1) where (x1, y1) is a given coordinate point, m is the slope, and x and y are variables. We will substitute the given information into this base equation.

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

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

(y + 7) = 2(x + 6)
