The point-slope form is:  y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where the point is (x1, y1) and the slope is m.  m  =  (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

For this problem:  x1 = 3, y1 = -2, x2 = 6, and y2 = 4.

Therefore:  m  =  (4 - -2) / (6 - 3)  =  6/3  =  2

The equation is:  y - -2  =  2(x - 3)     --->     y + 2  =  2x - 6     --->     y  = 2x - 8
