26. The graph of linear function fpasses through the point (1,-6) and has a slope of -2

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

b: It is the cut point with the y axis

We have according to the data:

Thus, the equation is of the form:

We substitute the given point:

Finally, the equation is:

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Write the linear equation in point slope form

we have

substitute

step 2

Convert to slope intercept form

we have

isolate the variable y

w'x is 0.
