Say better this way:
=========
line containing the centers of the two circles whose equations are given below. (x-6)^2+(y-3)^2=49, AND (x+4)^2+(y-4)^2=81
==========
The two points are (6, 3) and (-4, 4).
IF you already know how to find equation of a line through two given points, then you're all set knowing what to do.
Do you understand why this is or can be used?
In more detail,
Picking the point (6, 3) as build the variable slope expression
and both points for the slope value
