What they've given you here is 2 points:
(-2,3) and (14,-5).
To find the equation, we have to solve for the slope first:

Plug in the given points:

Simplify:

Then we can use the following equation:

Simplify the right hand side:

Move the -3 over by adding it to both sides:
, which is our linear function.
Or, can be written as:
