The equation for a straight line is given by
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]where m is the slope and b is the intercept.
The formula to calculate m is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ =\frac{10-16}{0-2}=\frac{-6}{-2}=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now the value of b can be calculated as, y intercept which here is, 10
Therefore, the required equation is, y=3x+10
