Answer:

y = 2x - 9

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

Here m = 2 , then

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, - 5) into the partial equation

- 5 = 4 + c ⇒ c = - 5 - 4 = - 9

y = 2x - 9 ← equation of line
