m is slope so put slope , x ,and y value into it

anonymous · Answer

so 8 then?

nnesha · Answer

nope can you show me the work please

triciaal · Answer

the equation in standard form     y = mx + b
passes through (-2,6)    x = -2 and y = 6
slope of -1   m = -1
find b
then write the equation for any x and any y (x,y) slope = -1  b you just found

anonymous · Answer

I put it as y = -1(-2) + 6

anonymous · Answer

and then that turns into 2 + 6
