Answer:

        y = -6x - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation is y - y₀ = m(x - x₀), where (x₀, y₀) is any point the line passes through and m is the slope:

m = -6

(-3, 2)    ⇒   x₀ = -3,  y₀ = 2

The point-slope form of the equation:

y - 2 = -6(x + 3)

So:

y - 2 = -6x - 18         {add 2 to both sides}

y = -6x - 16             ←  the slope-intercept form of the equation
