Let's denote the first point (-3,-6) as

. In other words,

and

Now let's denote the second point (1,6) as

. In other words,

and

-------------------------

Start with the slope formula

Plug in ,,,

Subtract the terms in the numerator to get . Subtract the terms in the denominator to get

Reduce
