\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc} &&x_1&&y_1\\ % (a,b) &&(~{{ -6}} &,&{{ 6}}~) \end{array} \\\\\\ % slope = m slope = {{ m}}\implies -2 \\\\\\ % point-slope intercept \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-6=-2[x-(-6)] \\\\\\ y-6=-2(x+6)\implies y-6=-2x-12\implies y=-2x-6
