Answer:

[tex]y=-5x-8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

To calculate the slope intercept of a line/point we need to use the formula for slope intercept, substitute, and solve for b.

Formula for slope intercept:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
[tex]m=-5[/tex]
[tex]y=2[/tex]
[tex]x=-2[/tex]
[tex]2=-5(-2)+b[/tex]

Solve for b:
[tex]2=-5(-2)+b[/tex]
[tex]-5(-2)=10[/tex]
[tex]2=10+b[/tex]
[tex]10-10=0[/tex]
[tex]2-10=-8[/tex]
[tex]-8=b[/tex]
[tex]b=-8[/tex]

Substitute for the following:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
[tex]b=-8[/tex]
[tex]m=-5[/tex]
[tex]y=-5x-8[/tex]

Your answer is "y = -5x - 8."
