Answer:
y = – 2x + 17
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Here m = – 2, then
y = – 2x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (6, 5) into the partial equation
5 = – 12 + c ⇒ c = 5 + 12 = 17
y = – 2x + 17 ← equation of line
