The two red points are lying on the line

let us call them A( on y axis) and B ( in third quadrant )

Co ordinates of A can be seen easily : 0 movement on x axis and +2 movement on y axis so co ordinates of A ( 0,2)

Co ordinates of B: -4 movement on x axis and -6 movement on y axis so co ordinates are ( -4,-6)

Let us say x1 y1 = (0,2) and x2 y2 = ( -4,-6)

first we find slope of this line : ( y2 - y1) divide by ( x2-x1)

: ( -6 -2 ) divide by ( -4 -0)=

: (-8) divide by ( -4 )

Slope m = +2

Now equation of line should be Y- y1 = m( X-x1)

Y - 2 = +2( X- 0)

Y - 2 = 2X

Y = 2X+ 2

This is the required equation of the line
