Answer:

y - 14 = 2( x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

First you can find the slope by finding the difference between the two coordinate points. Which is 12/6 or 2.

The formula is y=mx+b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

y and x are the coordinate values.

Plug in the points to solve for b.

14 = 2(3) + b

14 = 6 + b

-6 -6

8 = b

Okay POINT SLOPE form would be

y1 - y2 = m(x1 - x2)

So it would look like....

y - 14 = 2( x - 3)

(sorry its so long) Hope that helps and have a great day!
