To determine the equation of the line, we use the point slope form equation for this problem. It is expressed as:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

We substitute the given values in the problem to the equation.

y - 2 = -5(x - 2)
y = -5x +10+2
y = -5x +12

A line has a slope of -5 and passes through the point (2, 2). What is the equation for this line?
