what equation represents a line that contains the points (8,2) with a slope of -2

Question

like what other function or equation is equal to the one above

Answer 1

Since the slope & a point are given, we can use the point-slope form to create the equation. Point-slope form is (y-y1)=m(x-x1), where x1 & y1 are the given point & m is the slope.

y-2=-2(x-8)

y-2=-2x+16

y=-2x+14
