Use the two-point form of the equation of a line:

where and are the coordinates of the given points.

Once you have plugged in the values you were given, do the arithmetic and rearrange the equation to put it into Standard Form, namely:

Some texts require that A, B, and C be integers to be in proper Standard Form.

Find an equation of the line passing through each pair of points (-6, 0) and (9, -8).Write the equation in the form Ax=By=C.
--------------
Find the slope, m
m = diffy/diffx = 8/-15
m = -8/15
---------
Use y = mx + b to find b. Use either point
0 = (-8/15)*(-6) + b
b = -16/5
-------
y = (-8/15)x - 16/5
8x + 15y = - 48
