Answer:

y=2x+8

Explanation:

The slope must be the same so the equation so far is y=2x+b

To find b, you have to multiply the given x value (-1 is the given x value) and then see how much you have to add to reach the given y value (aka 6)

-1*2=-2

6--2=8

b=8

That means that the equation is y=2x+8
