Answer

$4x+3y=2$

Work Step by Step

With the given points, $(-4,6)\text{ and } (2,-2),$ then \begin{align*}\require{cancel} y_1&= 6 ,\\y_2&= -2 ,\\x_1&= -4 ,\text{ and }\\ x_2&= 2 .\end{align*} Using $m=\dfrac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}$ or the Slope Formula, the slope, $m,$ of the line is \begin{align*} m&=\dfrac{6-(-2)}{-4-2} \\\\&= \dfrac{6+2}{-4-2} \\\\&= \dfrac{8}{-6} \\\\&= \dfrac{\cancel8^4}{-\cancel6^3} \\\\&= -\dfrac{4}{3} .\end{align*} Using $ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) $ or the Point-Slope Form of linear equations, with the point $(-4,6)$ and $m=-\dfrac{4}{3},$ then \begin{align*} y-6&=-\dfrac{4}{3}(x-(-4)) \\\\ y-6&=-\dfrac{4}{3}(x+4) .\end{align*} Using the properties of equality, in the form $ax+by=c$ or the Standard Form of linear equations, the equation above is equivalent to \begin{align*} 3(y-6)&=\left(-\dfrac{4}{3}(x+4)\right)3 \\\\ 3(y-6)&=-4(x+4) \\\\ 3y-18&=-4x-16 \\\\ 4x+3y-18&=-4x-16+4x \\ 4x+3y-18&=-16 \\ 4x+3y-18+18&=-16+18 \\ 4x+3y&=2 .\end{align*}
