Answer:

The equation of the line is;

[tex]y=-2x+3[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that

the slope of a line is -2 and it passes through the point (4,-5).

Applying the slope-intercept form of equation;

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

Substituting the values of the slope and coordinates;

[tex]\begin{gathered} y-(-5)=-2(x-4) \\ y+5=-2x+8 \\ y=-2x+8-5 \\ y=-2x+3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of the line is;

[tex]y=-2x+3[/tex]
