#y=-2x+6#

Explanation:

#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.

#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#

#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#

#"here "m=-2" and "b=6#

#y= -2x + 6# is the equation.

Explanation:

#y= mx + c# is the Slope-Intercept Form.
Where m = slope and c is the y-intercept.

So you should just substitute m = -2 and c = 6 to get the equation of the line.
