Answer :

To answer this question, we can use the two-point equation of the line as follows:

[tex]y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

Now, we need to identify the points in order to apply the previous formula:

(3, -2) ---> x1 = 3, y1 = -2

(4, 6) ---> x2 = 4, y2 = 6

Then, we have:

[tex]y-(-2)=\frac{6-(-2)}{4-3}(x-3)[/tex][tex]y+2=\frac{6+2}{4-3}(x-3)=y+2=\frac{8}{1}(x-3)[/tex][tex]y+2=8(x-3)=8x-24[/tex]

We applied the distributive property on the right side of the equation.

Finally, we have:

[tex]y+2=8x-24\Rightarrow y=8x-24-2\Rightarrow y=8x-26[/tex]

Therefore, the line equation in the slope-intercept form is:

[tex]y=8x-26[/tex]
