The equation for finding the slope of a line when given two points is 
$$m=(y2-y1)\div(x2-x1) $$

 (2,2) and (-3,12) are our points.

Just plug the two points into the equation....
$$m=(2-12)/(2+3) $$

Once you solve for m.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Use one of your points and your slope to find the equation of the line.
