Answer:

y = 3x -16

Explanation:

We can use the slope intercept form of the equation

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We know the slope

y = 3x+b

Substitute the point into the equation to find b

2 = 3(6) +b

2 =18+b

Subtract 18 from each side

2-18 = b

-16 =b

Substitute this back into the equation

y = 3x -16
