Answer:

y = 2x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

equation: y = mx + b

plug in slope

y = (2)x + b

plug in (x, y)

-8 = 2(6) + b

multiply

-8 = 12 + b

subtract

-20 = b

plug in b

y = 2x - 20

Answer:

              2x - y - 20 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]P=(6,\,-8)\quad\implies\quad x_p=6\,,\quad y_p=-8[/tex]

y = mx + b

m = 2   ⇒   y = 2x + b

The line goes through P so:  [tex]y_p=2x_p+b[/tex]

-8 = 2(6) + b

-8 = 12 + b

b = -20

y = 2x - 20

2x - y - 20 = 0
