Answer: y=2x-2

Explanation:

y=mx+c is the format for the equation of a straight line.

m is the gradient

c is the y intercept

The line intercepts the y axis at (0,-2), so c must be -2.

The gradient is calculated by (change in y)/(change in x), which is 6/3 = 2, so m must be 2.

Therefore, after substituting these values, y=2x-2
