Answer:

y = - 6x - 15

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given slope m = - 6 , then

y = - 6x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c, substitute (- 2, - 3 ) for x and y in the partial equation

- 3 = - 6(- 2) + c = 12 + c ( subtract 12 from both sides )

- 15 = c

y = - 6x - 15 ← equation of line
