Answer:

y = 3x - 2

Explanation:

See the attached worksheet. Look for an equation of the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope of the line can be determined by taking two points on the line to calculate the Rise/Run. The points selected for this example are (0,-2) and (2,4). This makes the Rise/Run (6/2), or 3. The y-intercept, b, is -2 as per point (0,-2).

The equation for this (non)-prependicular line is thus y = 3x - 2.
