Try point-slope equation form for a line.

formula for slope, m=%28y-v%29%2F%28x-u%29 using some general point (x,y) and some specific point, (u,v). This is equivalent to m%28x-u%29=y-v,
highlight_green%28y-v=m%28x-u%29%29, the Point-Slope Form.

Your values give you highlight%28y-6=-3%28x%2B2%29%29 which you can transform into any form needed.
