Solved by pluggable solver: Find the equation of line going through points
hahaWe are trying to find equation of form y=ax+b, where a is slope, and b is intercept, which passes through points (x1, y1) = (3, 3) and (x2, y2) = (-6, -6).
Slope a is a+=+%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29+=+%28-6-3%29%2F%28-6-3%29+=+1.
Intercept is found from equation a%2Ax%5B1%5D%2Bb+=+y%5B1%5D, or 1%2A3+%2Bb+=+0. From that,
intercept b is b=y%5B1%5D-a%2Ax%5B1%5D, or b=3-1%2A3+=+0.

y=(1)x + (0)
