y=-4/3x-6y=−43x−6

Explanation:

The equation of a line in color(blue)"point-slope form"point-slope form is.

color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y-y_1=m(x-x_1))color(white)(2/2)|)))
where m represents the slope and (x_1,y_1)" a point on the line"

"here "m=-4/3" and " (x_1,y_1)=(-6,2)

y-2=-4/3(x-(-6))

rArry-2=-4/3(x+6)larrcolor(red)" in point-slope form"

distribute and simplify gives an alternative version of the equation.

y-2=-4/3x-8

rArry=-4/3x-8+2

rArry=-4/3x-6larrcolor(red)" in slope-intercept form"
