well here you can either use point slope form or solve the equation y=mx+b for b and then plug in

solving y=mx+b for b and pluging in you get

y=mx+b where m=-3/2 x=6 y=-2

-2=-3/2(6)+b
-2=-9+b
7=b

y=-3/2x+7

using point slope you get

y-y1=m(x-x1) where y1=-2 m=-3/2 x1=6

y-(-2)=-3/2(x-6)
y+2=-3/2x+9
y=-3/2x+9-2
y=-3/2x+7
