To solve this, you have to find the slope and use one of the points to determine the equation. To find slope, you find the difference in y (y2-y1) over the difference in x (x2-x1). So we have 16-(-32) / 2-(-6) = 48/8=6
Now, you plug that into the formula (y-y1)=m(x-x1) to determine the equation.
So, we have (y-(-32))=6(x-(-6)) which simplifies to y+32=6x+36 or y=6x+4.
