Answer:

y - 5 = -2(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point-slope form is ex pressed as;

y-y0 = m(x-x0)

m is the slope

(x0, y0) is the point on the line;

Given;

m = -2

(x0, y0) = (4,5)

Substitute the given values into the formula above;

y - 5 = -2(x-4)

Hence the point slope form of the equation is y - 5 = -2(x-4)
