Answer:

y = 4/3x - 6

Explanation:

The equation is y = mx + b

m = the slope

b = y-intercept

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Points (0, -6) and (6, 2)

We see the y increase by 8, and the x increase by 6, so the slope is

m = 8/6 = 4/3

Y-intercept is located at (0, -6)

So, the equation is y = 4/3x - 6
