Answer:


y= -(5)/(3) x+7

In order to find equation:

Find slope:


\sf slope: (y_2- y_1)/(x_2 -x_1) = (rise)/(run) where (x1, y1), (x2, y2)


\hookrightarrow \sf slope: (-3-2)/(6-3)


\hookrightarrow \sf slope:- (5)/(3)

Find Equation:


\boxed{\sf y - y_1 = m(x_1 -x)} "m" is slope


\sf \rightarrow y-2 = -(5)/(3) (x-3)


\sf \rightarrow y-2 = -(5)/(3) x+5


\sf \rightarrow y= -(5)/(3) x+5+2


\sf \rightarrow y= -(5)/(3) x+7
