Respuesta :

Answer:

6x + y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has the following format:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

m = -6

So

[tex]y = -6x + b[/tex]

(-2, 4)

This means that when [tex]x = -2, y = 4[/tex]. We use this to find b.

[tex]y = -6x + b[/tex]

[tex]4 = -6(-2) + b[/tex]

[tex]b = 4 - 12 = -8[/tex]

So

[tex]y = -6x + -8[/tex]

[tex]6x + y = -8[/tex]
