Seeing the written ordered pairs and finding the slope in my head, m,
.

The obvious y intercept is b=6, as for slope-intercept equation form, y=mx+b.

The equation is , which you could transform into standard form if desired. Also, if you are more familiar with how standard form works, you might write the/a standard form equation directly from those two given points.
