Question

a line passes through the point (-2,8) and has a slope of -6 write the equation of this line

Answer 1

there is a simple way to find the equation of a line if you're given its slope \(\color{green}m\) and a pair of points \((\color{red}p , \color{blue}q)\)

And that's...
\[\Large y = \color{green}m(x-\color{red}p)+\color{blue}q\]
