Solved by pluggable solver: Find the equation of line going through points
hahaWe are trying to find equation of form y=ax+b, where a is slope, and b is intercept, which passes through points (x1, y1) = (3, -6) and (x2, y2) = (-8, 2).
Slope a is .
Intercept is found from equation a%2Ax%5B1%5D%2Bb+=+y%5B1%5D, or -0.727272727272727%2A3+%2Bb+=+-3.81818181818182. From that,
intercept b is b=y%5B1%5D-a%2Ax%5B1%5D, or b=-6--0.727272727272727%2A3+=+-3.81818181818182.

y=(-0.727272727272727)x + (-3.81818181818182)

Your graph:
