Answer:

y=3x

Explanation:

To put this in slope intercept form, let’s first find the slope

To find slope, use the equation Y2-Y1/X2-X1

When we do this, we get 0-6/0-2

This simplifies out into -6/-2 which is 3

So our slope is 3. Our equation becomes y=3x+b

Now, we find our b

We don’t have to do any solving for this, since we have the point 0,0 listed for us, it goes through the origin and that is our y-intercept or b

So our final equation is y=3x

Hope this helps and have a good day!
