What is the equation of a line that passes through (-6, 2) and has a slope of −12 ?

Question

@texaschic101 already showed u....
in y = mx + b form the slope is in the m position
so m = -12
your points (-6,2)....x = -6 and y = 2
now we already know the slope (m) and our points (x,y)....so basically we just need to find b, the y intercept.
So we sub into the formula and find b
y = mx + b
2 = -12(-6) + b
2 = 72 + b
2 - 72 = b
-70 = b

so your equation becomes : y = -12x - 70

yes, why would an ambassador give the answer, rather then explaining how...?
