okey dokey. Firstly, can you tell me the coordinate of the labelled point from your picture? :)

anonymous · Answer

idk

butterflydreamer · Answer

it's already labelled on your picture :)
The blue dot

(4,-6)

butterflydreamer · Answer

yes! :D 
So now we have the point (4, -6) and we were told that the slope m = -2
So we use  the point-slope formula y - y1 = m ( x - x1) to find the equation of the line.
