Answer:

-6= -2 + b

Step-by-step explanation:

Following the y=mx+b forumla

Y= -6 the y coordinate given

MX= the slope (-1) and the x coordinate (2) you multiply them ( -1 * 2) and you get -2

B= you have nothing for b since you do not know the y-intercept

Answer:

[tex]y=-x-4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we already know that the slope is [tex]-1[/tex] we can use this formula to solve for the y-intercept: [tex]b=y-mx[/tex]

b is the y-intercept

m is the slope of the line

x and y are a point on the line

[tex]b=-6-(-1)(2)[/tex]

[tex]b=-4[/tex]

The equation of the line is: [tex]y=-x-4[/tex]

plz mark me brainliest. ;)
