Answer:

[tex]y = -\frac{5}{2}x +6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]m = -\frac{5}{2}[/tex] -- slope

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (2,1)[/tex] --- point

Required

Determine the line equation

In slope intercept form, a line equation is:

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

This gives:

[tex]y - 1 = -\frac{5}{2}(x - 2)[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]y - 1 = -\frac{5}{2}x +5[/tex]

Add 1 to both sides

[tex]y - 1+1 = -\frac{5}{2}x +5+1[/tex]

[tex]y = -\frac{5}{2}x +6[/tex]
