Answer:

Assuming that you're asking for the formula in slope-intercept form, the answer would be y = 4/5x - 1.

Explanation:

Using the two coordinates provided, (-6,-6) and (4,2), you can find that the equation has a slope of 4/5. If you count back from point (4,2) using the slope, you will find that the y-intercept of the line is -1. When you substitute these numbers into slope-intercept formula (y=mx+b), you get y = 4/5x - 1 (you may need to convert 4/5 into a fraction instead of separating it with a / as shown).
