Answer:

y = 2x - 10

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is...

y = mx + b

To get the slope, you have to use the formula...

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

In this case,

y2 = 2

y1 = 10

x2 = 6

x1 = 10

So...

(2 - 10) / (6 - 10)

= -8 / -4 = 2

Therefore, slope is 2

y = 2x + b

Using any of the two x and y value provided, input the values in the equation

(I'm going to use 6,2)

2 = 2(6) + b

2 = 12 + b

b = -12 + 2

b = -10

Put this all together...

y = 2x - 10

Hope this helps :)

Let me know if there are any mistakes!!
