(-3, -8) and (-4, -6) First find slope
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29=%28-6%2B8%29%2F%28-4%2B3%29=2%2F-1=-2\"$ then use point slope formula and plug in one of the points given and a slope
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-y1=m%28x-x1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%2B6=-2%28x%2B4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%2B6=-2x-8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-2x-8-6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-2x-14\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
