1 Expert Answer
You want to use point-slope formula here, since you are given a point and a slope to begin. Point slope formula is y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is your slope, and your point is (x1,y1).
Plugging everything in, this is what happens to our equation:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-14=(-2)(x-(-3))
y-14=(-2)(x+3) by simplification
y-14=-2x-6 by distributive property
y= 2x-6+14 by addition property of equality
y = 2x+8 by simplification
