Answer:

  • y = - 1/12x + 5

------------------------------------

Use point-slope form first and convert to slope-intercept.

Point-slope form:

  • y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where (x₁, y₁) is a point and m- slope

Slope-intercept form:

  • y = mx + b, where m- slope, b- y-intercept

Plug in the values:

  • y - 2 = - 1/12(x - 36)
  • y - 2 = - 1/12x + 3
  • y = - 1/12x + 3 + 2
  • y = - 1/12x + 5
