Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Slope m=-3

A point (x, y)=(4,-2)

Equation of a line can generally be written as

y=mx+c

Where, m is the slope

And c is the intercept on y-axis

Since we are given m=-3

Then, y=mx+c becomes

y=-3x+c

To get c, let substitute the point given, i.e x=4 and y=-2

y=-3x+c

-2=-3(4)+c

-2=-12+c

-2+12=c

c=-2+12

c=10

y=mx+c, then m=-3 and c=10

Then, the equation the line becomes y = -3x + 10

This is the required line equation
