ASSUMING YOU ARE TRYING TO FIND THE EQUATION OF A LINE THROUGH THESE TWO POINTS THEN:
WE FIRST FIND THE SLOPE(m) BY (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) THUS:
(2-0)/(3-6)
2/-3=-2/3 IS THE SLOPE (m).
NOW WE SUBSTITUTE ONE SET OF X & Y VALUES IN THE EQUATION Y=mX+b & SOLVE FOR b.
0=-2/3*6+b
0=-12/3+b
0=-4+b
b=4 THUS THE EQUATION IS
Y=-2/3X+4
