Answer :

The point-slope form of the linear equation is

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

m is the slope

(x1, y1) is a point on the line

Since the slope of the line is -6, then

m = -6

Since the line passes through the point (-5, 15), then

[tex]\begin{gathered} x_1=-5 \\ y_1=15 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Substitute them in the form of the equation above

[tex]\begin{gathered} y-15=-6(x-\lbrack-5\rbrack) \\ y-15=-6(x+5) \end{gathered}[/tex]

The answer is

[tex]y-15=-6(x+5)[/tex]
