You can put this solution on YOUR website! m= 0.75
Plug value of the slope and point(2,-6) in
Y = m x + b
-6.00 = 1.5 + b
b=-6-1.5
b=-7.5
So the equation will be
Y = 3/4x -15/2
......
y-(-6)=3/4(x-(-2))
y+6= 3/4 (x+2)
4(y+6)=3(x+2)
4y+24=3x+6
4y= 3x-18
y=3/4 x -9/2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the post by @mananth, it is clear that he simply does not know
what a "Point-Slope form" is. Therefore, his solution and his answer are irrelevant,
non-adequate and incorrect.
I came to bring a correct solution.
When the slope 'm' and coordinates of a point are given (a,b), the Point-Slope form equation
of a line with the given slope 'm' passing through point (a,b) is
y - b = m(x - a). <<<---=== by the D E F I N I T I O N
So, in this given problem, the required equation is
y - (-6) =  ,
or, equivalently,
y + 6 = 0.75*(x-2). ANSWER
Solved.
