Hi, there--
.
Use the point slope form for the equation of a line.
.

.
In your problem the slope m is 6.
Using your point (-2,-3), x[1] is -2 and y[1] is -3.
Substitute these known values into the equation above.
.


.
This is an equation for a line with slope 6 going through (-2,-3).
.
Hope this helps! Feel free to email if there is any part you still have a question about.
