First calculate the slope using the two points.

Now use the point-slope form of a line, using the slope and either of the points,

Now change to slope-intercept form, ,

.
Plot the graph and verify it goes through the two points.

slope-intercept form of the equation for the line passing through the given pair of points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
y-y1=(y2-y1)(x-x1)/(x2-x1)
the required line is y-(-2)={9-(-2)}{x-(-6)}/{2-(-6)}
y+2 = 11(x+6)/8
y+2 = (11/8)x + 66/8
y = (11/8)x + (33/4) -2
y = (11/8)x + (25/4)
