Answer: y=6x-16

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Since we are given a point and the slope, all we have to do is solve for b.

y=mx+b [plug in point and slope]

2=6(3)+b [multiply]

2=18+b [subtract both sides by 18]

b=-16

With b, we can plug into our equation y=6x-16.
