Answer:

y= -2x-6

Explanation:

First need to find the slope with the help of slope formula.

m= -2-10/-2-(-8)= -12/6= -2

the slope-intercept form is

y=mx+b

substitute m with -2 and x and y with any of the two points given.

y= -2x+b

-2 = -2 × (-2) +b

-2= 4+ b

b= -6

now substitute m and b values into y=mx+b

y= -2x-6
