You can  put this solution on YOUR website! (-10,-6) and (-16,-18)  
Slope=(-18+6)/(-16+10)=-12/-6=2 ans. 
-6=2*-10+b 
-6=-20+b 
b=-6+20 
b=14 ans. for the y intercept. 
y=2x+14

The slope m of the line between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is defined as:
 
m = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
 
In this case we have:
 
m = (-6-(-18))/(-10-(-16)) 
m = (-6+18)/(-10+16) 
m = 12/6 = 2
