-2-6 = -8/5 (3- -2)

first off, it’s important to know that the formula for point slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1). since you already have both points, you can plug them into the equation to get -2-6=m(3- -2). Next, you must find the slope by using the formula y2-y1/x2-x1. Plug the points in to get -2-6/3–2. Simplify to -8/5, and that’s your slope. Put the slope into the equation to get your final answer of -2-6 = -8/5 (3- -2). Hope this helped!!
