You should probably revise this and tell us what the slope is. If you do that, I'll come back and edit my answer. Sorry, I should have put this in a comment.

Slope = 2


y2 = 4


y1 = v


x2 = 0


x1 = -6


Formula


m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)


Solution


Substitute


2 = (4 - v) / (0 - - 6)


2 = (4 - v) / 6 Multiply both sides by 6


2*6 = 4 - v Combine the left


12 = 4 - v Subtract 4 from both sides


12-4 = 4-4 - v Combine the left and the right


8 = - v Divide by - 1


-8 = v


Answer: v = -8
