Answer:

We first calculate the slope (or "m")

Slope or m = (Y2 -Y1) ÷ (X2 -X1)

m = (-3 --5) / -6 --3)

m = (2 / -3) = -.66666666

Let's choose one point (-3, -5) and then

fill in this equation:

(y - y1) = m • (x -x1)

(y --5) = -.666666 (x --3)

y +5 = -.666666 (x +3)

y + 5 = -.666666 x -2

y = -.666666x -7
