(-3,3)\ \ and\ \ (-6,-2) \\\\ First \ find \ the \ slope \ of \ the \ line \ thru \ the \ points \: \\ \\ m= (y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1) ) \\ \\m=( -2-3)/(-6+3) = (-5)/(-3)=(5)/(3) \\ \\ Use \ point \ form \ of \ a \ line\ with \ one \ point:


y-y_(1) =m(x-x _(1)) \\\\y-3=(5)/(3)(x+3)\\\\y=(5)/(3) x+5+3\\\\y=(5)/(3) x+8
