The formula to use is

where the given points are
(x%5B1%5D,y%5B1%5D) = (-3,3)
(x%5B2%5D,y%5B2%5D) = (-4,2)
%28y+-+3%29+%2F+%28x+-+%28-3%29%29+=+%282+-+3%29+%2F+%28-4+-+%28-3%29%29
%28y+-+3%29+%2F+%28x+%2B+3%29+=+%28-1%29+%2F+%28-1%29
%28y+-+3%29+%2F+%28x+%2B+3%29+=+1
y+-+3+=+x+%2B+3
y+=+x+%2B+6 answer
Check. Does it go through (-3,3) and (-4,2)?
3+=+-3+%2B+6
3+=+3
2+=+-4+%2B+6
2+=+2
OK
