To find the equation of the line passing through the point (6, -3) with a slope of -2, we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line:y - y1 = m(x - x1)where (x1, y1) is the given point and m is the slope.Substituting the given values, we get:y - (-3) = -2(x - 6)Simplifying, we get:y + 3 = -2x + 12Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get:y = -2x + 9So, the equation of the line is y = -2x + 9
