Explanation:

Hey there!

Given; The point is (2,-2) and slope (m) is -3.

Remember to use one point formula while finding the eqaution which has slope and point.

The formula;

(y-y1) = m(x-x1)

Put all values.

(y+2) -3(x-2)

Simplify it and put it on y = mx+b form.

y +2 = -3x + 6

y = -3x +6 - 2

y = -3x + 4

Therefore, the equation is y = -3x +4.

Hope it helps...
