First, let's find the slope of those two points:

slope = (-4 - - 6) / (3 - 5)

slope = 2 / -2

slope = -1

Next, we'll use the slope-intercept form equation and plug in one point to find the value of b. In this case, I will use the point (3,-4):

-4 = -1(3) + b

-4 = -3 + b

b = -1

Finally, with our values of b and the slope, we can plug those into the slope-intercept form to get our equation:

y = -x - 1

Hope this helps!! :)
