The slope-point form of line:


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

We have the points (-9, 7) and (6, 2). Substitute:


m=(2-7)/(6-(-9))=(-5)/(6+9)=-(5)/(15)=-(1)/(3)\\\\y-7=-(1)/(3)(x-(-9))\\\\\boxed{y-7=-(1)/(3)(x+9)}

The slope-intercept form of line:


y=mx+b.

We have the slope m:


y=-(1)/(3)x+b

Pu the coordinates of the point (6, 2) to the equation:


2=-(1)/(3)(6)+b


2=-2+b add 2 to both sides


4=b\to b=4


\boxed{y=-(1)/(3)x+4}
