step 1

find the slope

we have the points

(-6,10) and (-3,-2)

m=(-2-10)/(-3+6)

m=-12/3

m=-4

step 2

find the equation in point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=-4

(x1,y1)=(-6,10)

substitute

y-10=-4(x+6)

step 3

convert to slope intercept form

isolate the variable y

y-10=-4x-24

y=-4x-24+10

y=-4x-14
