We know that

• The slope is 3.

,

• The y-intercept is -2.

We use the slope-intercept form to find an equation.


y=mx+b

Where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

Replacing the given information, we have


y=3x-2

Now, we move all terms to the left side to express the linear equation in standard form.

Therefore, the standard form is


-3x+y=-2
