Answer:

The equation of the line is:


y=(2)/(3)x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in the form:


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where m is the slope.


\begin{gathered} m=(-6-(-4))/(0-3) \\ \\ =(-6+4)/(-3)=(2)/(3) \end{gathered}

So, the equation is:


\begin{gathered} y-(-4)=(2)/(3)(x-3) \\ \\ y+3=(2)/(3)x-2 \\ \\ y=(2)/(3)x-2-3 \\ \\ y=(2)/(3)x-5 \end{gathered}
