Use the general point-slope formula
+%28+y+-+2+%29+%2F+%28+x+-+%28-3%29+%29+=+%28+10+-+2+%29+%2F+%28+1+-+%28-3%29+%29+
++%28+y+-+2+%29+%2F+%28+x+%2B+3+%29+=+8+%2F+4+
+%28+y+-+2+%29+%2F+%28+x+%2B+3+%29+=+2+
+y+-+2+=+2%2A%28+x+%2B+3+%29+
+y+-+2+=+2x+%2B+6+
+y+=+2x+%2B+8+
---------------
check answer:
(-3,2)
+2+=+2%2A%28-3%29+%2B+8+
+2+=+-6+%2B+8+
+2+=+2+
(1,10)
+10+=+2%2A1+%2B+8+
+10+=+10+
OK
