$y + 6 = 5 (x - 2)$ $y+6=5(x-2)$

Explanation:

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

$∙ x y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1})$ $•color(white)(x)y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$where m is the slope and (x_{1}, y_{1}) a point on the line$ $"where m is the slope and "(x_1,y_1)" a point on the line"$

$here m = 5 and (x_{1}, y_{1}) = (2, - 6)$ $"here "m=5" and "(x_1,y_1)=(2,-6)$

$substitute these values into the equation$ $"substitute these values into the equation"$

$y - (- 6) = 5 (x - 2)$ $y-(-6)=5(x-2)$

$y + 6 = 5 (x - 2) \leftarrow in point-slope form$ $y+6=5(x-2)larrcolor(red)"in point-slope form"$
