Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the points (6, -3) and (0, 2).
===============================
Find the slope, m
m = (y change)/(x change)
----
Then, y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is either point.
==============================
Know this like you know 2+2 = 4
