To write the equation of a line we must have a slope and a point. To find the slope we use the slope formula and substitute (x,y) points in it as shown below:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{-5--13}{-6-6}=\frac{-5+13}{-6+-6}=\frac{8}{-12}=\frac{-3}{4}$

Now that we have the slope, plug in the slope and choose one point to plug into the point slope formula. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.

(y--5)=-3/4(x--6)

y+5=-3/4(x+6)

y+5=-3/4x-18/4

y=-3/4x-18/4-20/4

y= -3/4x-38/4
