Answer:

y = - 2x - 7

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 , then

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 6, 5 ) into the partial equation

5 = - 2(- 6) + c = 12 + c ( subtract 12 from both sides )

- 7 = c

y = - 2x - 7 ← equation of line
