Answer:

  y +6 = -4/3(x -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is given by the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (2 -(-6))/(-3-3) = 8/-6 = -4/3

The point-slope form of the equation of a line through point (h, k) with slope m is ...

  y -k = m(x -h)

Using the first of the given points, the equation becomes ...

  y +6 = -4/3(x -3)
