Answer:

The equation is: 9x-y = 56

Explanation:

Given two point: (x,y) = (-6,2)

(x,y) = (4,-3)

Now, to find the slope of the line:

Slope = y1-y2/x1-x2 => 2-4/-6-(-3) = -1/9

Then, the equation of the line passing through a point:

=> y-y1 = m(x-x1)

=> y-2 = -1/9(x-6)

=> 1(y-2) = -9(x-6)

=> y-2 = -9x+54

=> 9x-y = 56
