$y = - 2 x + 6$ $y=-2x+6$

Explanation:

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

$∙ x y = m x + b$ $•color(white)(x)y=mx+b$

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

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

$\Rightarrow y = - 2 x + 6 \leftarrow is the equation$ $rArry=-2x+6larrcolor(red)"is the equation"$

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

Explanation:

$y = m x + c$ $y= mx + c$ 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.
