This is a straight line, so it would follow the equation y=mx+b. You can find the b value by looking at the y-intercept of the equation (where x=0), which in this case would be -2.5. Then, you can find the m value by comparing the two given points' locations. Slope is rise over run, so first you can find the rise. The y value moves from y=-4 to y=2, which is a value of 6 units upward. The points move from x=-2 to x=6, which is a distance of 8 units. Finally, put it into the rise over run pattern, giving you 6/8, which simplified is 3/4. This is your m value. Finally, plug in your two variable values into y=mx+b and you'll get y=3/4x-2.5.
