y = -2x +15

Explanation:

slope-intercept form is:

y=mx +b

(y-3) = -2(x -6)

distribute the -2

#y-3 = -2x +12

add 3 to both sides

y = -2x +15

now it is in slope-intercept form,

slope m=-2

y-intercept b=15

y=-2x+15

Explanation:

"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form" is.

•color(white)(x)y=mx+b

"distributing and simplifying gives"

y-3=-2x+12

"add 3 to both sides"
