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, -2) and (x2, y2) = (-6, 4).
Slope a is .
Intercept is found from equation a%2Ax%5B1%5D%2Bb+=+y%5B1%5D, or -0.666666666666667%2A3+%2Bb+=+0. From that,
intercept b is b=y%5B1%5D-a%2Ax%5B1%5D, or b=-2--0.666666666666667%2A3+=+0.

y=(-0.666666666666667)x + (0)

Your graph:





so, the slope intercept form equation is y=-0.666666666666667x
