Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,           The two points: 4,6 and -5,-6

Step 2

Part aSlope of the line = y2 - y1x2 - x1                              =- 6 - 6- 5 - 4                              =- 12- 9                              =4 3Part bThe equation of the line is y - 6=4 3x - 4y - 6=4 3x - 163y =4 3x - 163+6y =4 3x +18 - 163y =4 3x +23  which is in the slope-intercept form.
