Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope
• b - y-intercept  

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

• x₁ - x coordinate
• y₁ - y coordinate
• m - slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

[Point-Slope Form] y - 6 = -2(x + 7)

Step 2: Rewrite

Rewrite in slope-intercept form

1. Distribute -2:                                                                                                   y - 6 = -2x - 14
2. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 6 on both sides:                                   y = -2x - 8
