Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (8, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 6)

m =
(6+3)/(2-8) =
(9)/(-6) = -
(3)/(2)

------------------------------------------

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

Given

y = 5 - 2x , that is

y = - 2x + 5 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2
