Answer:

y= 2x + 4

Explanation:

Slop Form is : y=mx + b

If the line has a slope of 2, substitute that in the equation

y= 2x + b

To find b, substitute the x and y value of the point (-5, -6) into the equation

-6 = 2(-5) + b

-6 = -10 + b

Use the addition property of equality with the value 10 to isolate the b

-6 (+ 10) = -10( +10) + b

4= b

Put in all factors to result in

y= 2x + 4
