Answer:

y = -2x + 16

Explanation:

the way to solve this is to use the formula to find the slope

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(-2,20) (5,6)

(20-6) / (-2 - 5)

14/ -7

-2 = m

then you can substitute m and one of the given points into the y = mx + b to find b

y = mx + b

20 = (-2)-2 + b

20 = 4 + b

16 = b

putting it all together, you get y = -2x + 16
