( -2,4 )
( 0,-2 )
Use the general point-slope formula
+%28+y+-%28-2%29+%29+%2F+%28+x+-+0+%29+=+%28+4+-%28-2%29+%29+%2F+%28+-2+-+0+%29+
+%28+y+%2B+2+%29+%2F+x+=+6+%2F+%28-2%29+
+y+%2B+2+=+x%2A%28-3%29+
+y+=+-3x+-+2+
---------------
check:
( -2,4 )
+y+=+-3x+-+2+
+4+=+-3%2A%28-2%29+-+2+
+4+=+6+-+2+
+4+=+4+
----------
( 0,-2 )
+-2+=+-3%2A0+-+2+
+-2+=+-2+
OK
