Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (8, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 6)
m = [tex]\frac{6+3}{2-8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{-6}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
------------------------------------------
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
